Wildlife Panoramas
When I’m in that situation I try to expand my frame by making a stitched panorama. It’s a common approach for landscape images – but it can also work for wildlife photos too

Reprocessing a Mt. Evans Elk Herd panorama
Back in July of 2007, I wrote a post about Mt. Evans, Colorado and included this image of an Elk herd we saw there: At that time, I was using a Nikon D80 camera and made this photo with an entry level 70-300 telephoto lens. I remember wanting to capture as much detail as possible, so instead … Continue reading Reprocessing a Mt. Evans Elk Herd panorama
A Panorama Workflow Example
I was up on Mount Evans near Denver, Colorado with an Olympus E-PL5 camera and a 24-100mm equivalent lens. This is a 16MP camera and the mountains and valley were just too large to fit through that lens and onto that sensor. I really wanted to capture something that would give viewers a sense of the scene. So how did I make the 46MP (9608×4804) wide angle panorama below with the gear I had?
Nikon D90 – Retro Review
In my last post, I mentioned stopping to see Kevin M. in Chattanooga and that he gave me back the very same Nikon D90 that was my primary camera in 2008 and 2009. Thanks again, Kevin!

Two ‘Oldies but Goodies’

The first one is a two frame, vertical panorama made with … Continue reading Two ‘Oldies but Goodies’
Orlando Wetlands: Oct. 27 2023
I hadn’t been out to Orlando Wetlands since early May and I’ve been curious about what’s going on. So Lutfi and I met there about a week ago to walk around and do a little scouting. As far as the park itself goes, they’re still working on the new Visitor Center. The hours remain sunup … Continue reading Orlando Wetlands: Oct. 27 2023
5 Photos in 45 minutes
I’ve been busy with other things and it’s been terribly hot here (and everywhere). So I haven’t been photographing much lately. I know summer isn’t the best time for wildlife but I really needed to scratch my photography itch. So I headed out one morning about a week ago toward Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. … Continue reading 5 Photos in 45 minutes

Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive – Jan. 7 2023
My good friend Kevin M. was in town a week ago and wanted to visit LAWLD. We also invited Lutfi and the three of us met and drove up together.
