Thanks FoG, i agree third one needs quite some work done on it, i know what is problem now, i should have shot them in manual so that exposure did not change frame to frame. But that was my first time.. so excused myself

Beautiful panoramas! And the Rockies are a beautiful source for them.

I recommend using PhotoShop Elements (only cost about $80 USD) for the easiest panoramas with great blending features for panoramas.

Awesome shot and a great job on the pano. I haven't been back out west in about 11 years but it sure makes me miss the mountains.

One hint / tip. When you know you are going to shoot a pano series, get your meter reading, then put your camera in manual, set to your meter readings and don't change from frame to frame. this will help keep color / temperature balance, even as the clouds move across your lighting.

Excellent job.

Thanks Rob for your comment and suggestion, i realized that after coming back from the trip, i used either Program or Aperture priority which changed the exposure frame to frame... i managed to make some corrections in the first 2 but i was really sleepy when i was working on the third..so i left it as it is..

You got it absolutely right, as i said using auto settings created some flaws in the panos.. but i'm ok for as its my first. I'll try doing better job next time.

AC, #2 is my instant fav here

Nice panny's AC! The variations in colour may be due to changes in exposure. Were you on Aperture Prioity? I remember shooting some panoramas at Joffre Lake, and I used shutter priority. Well the exposure of each shot shifted slightly and exhibited the same result that you have in the second and third one. Great scenes, though, and i would love to go there to shoot the same thing! Good luck on these, and thanks for sharing.
