MERRIMACK TROUGH


... worth the minute or two it might take to download, this is a panorama composed of eight individual images ... for those of you interested in doing this sort of photography, the "secret" is to set your camera for manual exposure ... use your camera's light meter to determine the darkest and lightest areas of the scene, then set the shutter speed/aperture/iso so that there will be a minimum of overexposure (for black and white, of course, you can allow for more white in the final image) ... use that setting for all the photographs ... this hand-held image shows that a tripod pan-head isn't as necessary as some might claim ... bonus points: can you name the road where this was taken ...
