This panoramic photograph was taken a few minutes after the sunrise in Grand Teton National Park. In the foreground is the Moulton Homestead part of the Mormon Historic District. In the background is the Teton Range.
This was one of the most magical sunrises of my life. The light was just perfect. My roadtrip to Wyoming, which I did with my Dad, was one of those life changing experiences. I had never seen the Rocky Mountains and I was awed by their sheer size and their beauty. Spending time with my Dad was also very special.
How I made this photograph? Using a very steady tripod (I actually weighted it down with sandbags), I took 9 set of 3 exposures (-2, 0 and +2). I then merged each set of photographs into a single HDR image using Lightroom 6’s HDR merge. Once I had the 9 HDR images, I then stitched them into a panorama, using Lightroom’s new feature. After that, I used OnOne’s Perfect Effects to punch the colors and off to Photoshop to clean up the image of some signs next to the building and one or two individuals how walked into some of the frames.
For this image, I used my Canon 6D and the EF 24-105mm. All shots were captured vertically and the focal length was set at 85mm. The settings for the base exposure were the following: f 9, 1/20th of a second and ISO 100.
I really love this photo, though it was a lot of work. I am thinking of printing this one big, really big!
