So this was a bit of a challenge, mostly because I had to stitch together two different series of photos to help fill up the sky enough to get a level pano. Also, I’ve never needed to mask-out so many photos before. But this was a time-series. One of the things I noticed was that the exposure around the stitches looks odd. Also, the exposure at the east end and the south end was wildly different. I had to level it out with a giant lateral fade in Gimp to get the exposure much closer to even.
Let me know what you think!

You might compare this to the post-processed version I posted previously.

Samish Bay Log
Log, Samish Island
This was an early morning shot from Samish Island. I like the “inverted” lighting from the low sun angle. I was impressed that I could get the depth of field just on the log and the trees in the background were out focusing range.
While I was on Samish Island, I was present for some very interesting conversations about bicycling. I found a few people there that had done quite a bit of biking, from Alaska and other parts of the nation. I have found that talking about cycling is so much more fun than talking about computers and software.
