Mendenhall Glacier (on a cloudy day)



This doesn't begin to convey the massiveness.

Juneau, Alaska
June, 2007

In addition to liking the glacier, I like the snapshots-on-cardboard effect -- where the individual photos contributing to the mosaic have edges. They're not even at top and bottom, which suggests handheld shooting, but the edges all line up perfectly, which suggests either a panorama head or else careful adjustments to make them all fit.

I've poked at the adjustments approach and find it pretty much intractable; I can't get things to come out looking decent. So for real panoramas I use Panorama Factory, which does a pretty nice job if you give it anything to work with; but it can't make things like the above. So, how much trouble was it to get the edges of all the photos to match so perfectly, using what tools?

Zowie. That is awesome. I so need to go there before the glaciers are gone. Did you see the Northern Lights, too?
