p.1 #1 · first stitched panorama


this is my first stitched panorama ever...let alone posted here...

consists of two shots...Shoshone Falls on the Snake River. There is hardly any water going over the falls right now, but come spring time pretty much the entire area from left to right will be covered with water. Sorry there isn't much in here for scale reference, but here are some specs. to give you an idea....the falls is 212 feet high...from left to right it is 1000 feet across. I was shooting from the opposite side of the canyon...approximately 1/4 mile away from the subject.

Hard to imagine the falls that high and a 1/4 mile away. Must be really awesome to see it naturally. Beautiful place.

Thanks for the comments Ghphotog...i can't wait for the spring runoff to begin....it really is an awesome sight....in high runoff years the spray creates a cloud over the area that can be seen for miles around...

i wasn't actually *thinking* pano when i was shooting these shots....but i was using a tripod...then later, reviewing the shots, i realized that they could be combined into a pano...although i wasn't sure how "successfully"

It looks good Randy! Are you going to go back and get some follow up stuff later?

Great work Randy - a flawless composition.

This place must be huge .... I'm glad you gave us the sizes and distances, it's really decieving.

Jerry...absolutely - I can't wait to go back in the runoff season...and I will absolutely post updates. We haven't had a decent spring runoff or flow in the river for about 3 years now...but this spring should be a screamer. Come March or April, I will be posting updates. Thanks for looking!

David, thanks for looking and thanks for the comments. If you are interested in reading or learning more about this particular falls and/or the area....click on this link: http://www.pbs.org/idahoportrait/tour/shoshonetour.html

And if you wanted to read or learn more about how the canyon and the falls were carved out...follow this link about the Bonneville flood: http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Glossary/Glaciers/IceSheets/description_lake_bonneville.html

According to the USGS, "the Bonneville Flood was the second largest flood in the geologic history of the world".
