Two Merritt Island Moments
I got up early Thursday morning and checked the weather. The maps (both Radar and IR clouds) were clear. This isn’t a strong sign for a good sunrise, but I was itching to photograph something and I was already packed, so I went on over to MINWR to check on activity there.
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.

Wonderful to watch and with such good light, and a near perfect opportunity for photographs.
