Mammoth Mountain Panorama
After two days at home, Joseph and I left for the company ski trip. We had a great time up at Mammoth. Most of the time it was very cloudy, in fact the top of the mountain was closed for most of the weekend because of low visibility. I went up to the top with the camera, but I couldn’t see much, so I took the gondola back down. On the way, I saw a break in the clouds that opened up the whole valley for a photo shoot. About halfway down the mountain I got off the gondola and hiked around to find a good place to set up. I ended up right above a cliff with a good view of the mountain and the valley. You can see the resulting panorama here. This one was challenging because of the precarious location and my frozen fingers. I had the white balance set wrong, and this created an interesting problem when I tried to fix it in software. Where I had blown out the exposure by pointing the camera at the sun, the affected areas ended up a bright color instead of white. I managed to clip most of it out, but you can still see a spot of yellow here and there. The stitched panorama turned out really well. There is a little bit of parallax error still. I think I’m going to have to build myself a panoramic tripod head to fix that.
