National Park Panoramas (View the ORIGINALS)

Panoramic images taken in June and July 2013.

Most of the sites I visited were vast scenic spectacles and truly difficult to suitably represent in a photograph. To capture some of these breathtaking sites I used Photoshop to develop panoramas. The technique involves taking multiple photographs and stitching them together into a single panoramic image. The result is a grander photographic view of some truly magnificent places.
