Yukon panorama day

Along the way I took various kinds of shots. Some documentary, such as signs about the places we were. That's an easy way to remember where and what the surrounding shots are. Some are tourist shots, because you can't help yourself. Some are HDR because of the lighting. Aurora and star shots, of course, that was the whole point of the trip. Some I've tried to be artistic in one way or another. A couple were macro shots. I'm a big fan of reflection shots and work those in wherever I can. Some are panoramas because, well, the scene is so huge. There was lots of huge scenery. Here you are. You'll probably want to embiggen these on your desktop, and play with your browser screen size to be as wide as it will go.

This is the Fox Lake Burn outlook. Loved the textures of the different trees and the hills. Just off to the right it's a long way down.


Pelly River outlook has a huge view. Here's the first shot you saw with the bridge. It's only a small fraction of what you can see. Just in front of us is a long way down.


Here's the panorama of it I was talking about. It's the widest I've ever done, and I'm not sure how successful it is on screen because it's 38437 x 5159 pixels, or just a hair under 7.5 units wide for every 1 tall. What you see here is just under a MB file size, while the actual image is about 900 GB. So much detail if you zoom in. Perfect for that really wide space you've been wondering how to fill.


This is above carcross desert, and is included here in case you missed it in the desert blog.

 
 Five Finger Rapids. There were stairs, but if you missed them, it was a long way down.

 Tintina trench overview through a wide lens.

Same view, through a 70 mm lens. This is 22794 x 5903 pixels, or about 3.8 units wide for every 1 unit tall. Say, 2 feet by 7.75 feet.


Tombstone day. I think was on the road to the park, not within it.


From the park interpretive centre. There will be more photos from Tombstone.


Technically, this isn't a panorama, but it feels like it, and plus, if you stepped forwards it was a long way down. This was the view on the last night, when we weren't looking up at the spectacular auroras.

  1. Through the magic of technology, (ok it is only the google chromecast widget), I can display your photos on the home office TV. The 70mm panorama from the Tintina trench is about 28" wide by 7.5". It looks spectacular. The eyes are brought into the picture, and then they just meander through the scene, never leaving. The photo from the Fox Lake Burn lookout nearly works the same way. Though it captured me, it didn't hold me.

  2. Awesome images, Keith. Gonna look at them again later on our Mac. My facourite so far is the second to last one. Love the colours and the balance of different elements.
