Longs Peak Colorado Panorama

From the 14,255' top of the Longs Peak summit you get quite a 360° view. So using a 5 mega-pixel Canon G5 prosumer digicam, I shot a few test pictures, and then manually set/forced the aperature to F8.0 and the shutter speed to 1/400 second ... and then rotated around the top of Longs Peak, shooting a dozen pictures which I then stitched togather as a panorama. I used this nifty autostitch program which did most of the work followed by a few touchup's in Photoshop. It was kinda fun to put togather a picture like this ... although it's a bit wierd seeing a rotated view on a flat surface. It is slightly more than 360° per the duplicate "S" headings - note also the same group of people can be seen on the ends. BTW, under the "N" heading is my brother Myke in red and brother Kris in blue is to his left.

BTW, if you have a really big computer screen, take a look at this 5,500x500 pixel image
Note that is even a scaled-down version of the 21,846x1,986 pixel stitched original! ;-)
