Anyway, enjoy the picture. I stitched this together shortly after I took it, but I re-did it recently because I wanted to show more detail in the snow in the foreground; in my original it was blown out and just showed up as white.

Steamboat Panorama
This is a picture I took with my old Canon PowerShot A70. It is actually 5 pictures stitched together to form this panoramic view of the scene. I took this at the Steamboat ski resort in Colorado in 2006 over spring break. It’s a pretty cool ski area with lots of trails and lots of lifts that can keep you skiing on new trails all day. The problem with Steamboat is how far from I-70 it is located (although this may make it less crowded than ski areas that are closer to I-70). It was a good trip and Steamboat is a good place to go if you’ve got a special reason to go there, or really don’t mind driving the extra hours, but there are plenty of excellent ski areas closer to I-70.

I know this one. It was my laptop screen saver until you sent the substation picture!
ReplyDeleteVERY NICE! Beautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
ReplyDeleteAaaaah, I remember that trip. It was the first time I ever went snowboarding. Good times.
ReplyDeleteAs for the picture, I like it, it is very good, but I am sure if I saw it full size it would be spectacular, because as it is, it reminds me of a postcard.
Have you printed this out? I bet this is one of those photos that end up looking a lot better when printed out.
I haven't printed this one, but you're right, it would look great printed. Seeing it in this smaller size on the computer definitely doesn't do it justice.
ReplyDeleteIf I remember correctly, you gave yourself a minor concussion on this trip and you were even wearing a helmet!!
Haha...yeaaaaaaah..... I did that. Wasn't too fun, quite painful also!
