Eagles Over West Beach, Deception Pass, 2013-05-28 [Panorama, Wallpaper]
Here’s a panorama where I am quite pleasantly surprised to have caught the eagles. I took about 7-8 shots with my 200mm lens and I trimmed away at least a third of the very rainy north end of the photo. I stitched it with Hugin, and in GIMP, I layered a punchy gray scale grain merge…
