It has been years since I was there. (We rode bicycles from Skagway to Anchorage.) But that third photo reminds me of a very specific place where, if I recall, a bridge crosses that waterway.

I _really_ need to go back up there!

That definitely fits my memory of the spot I'm thinking of. I need to go back and look though my records from the trip, including photographs. (Unfortunately, at the time I was on a semi-break from serious photography, and I only carried a small, handheld early digital camera, a little Olympus. 4MP thing that by today's standards was pretty deficient.)

I remember the spot for two reasons. First, that wide river bed really caught my attention, along with the distant view of the snow-covered mountains. Second, one of the bike-riding kids on the trip (for which I was acting as a parent chaperone) got a flat tire there. I stopped to help him fix it... and discovered that he hadn't bothered to follow the instructions about carrying a pump and patch kit... and I had the wrong kind of pump (Presta, for you cycling fans) for his tires (Schraeder). I was not pleased. ;-)

That trip, though, was one of the highlights of my outdoor life. We rode from Skagway over White Pass into The Yukon, then onward past places like Kluane Lake, Beaver Creek, Tok, and so on to get to Fairbanks. We took a layover day there and got a ride up to the Arctic Circle. Then we continued, stopping for a couple of nights at Savage Creek campground at Denali before finishing the trip in Anchorage.

I like it. I have been shooting 1:3 though when doing 2-3 shot pano with the 250mm. Maybe I should try 65x24.

I like it, and I like your pixs as well.
Did that drive once when I rented a truck with a canopy for a few weeks, beautiful country.
Would love to spend some time in the fall to see the foliage and animals.

'the 65x24 look'

Is this a reference to a specific thing I'm not familiar with, or simply a random aspect ratio that you chose? Not sure how you'd print that if it was truly a 19500x7200-pixel file.

Jeff

It's an image size option in the GFX100s...just been playing with it...saw some other photographers working with it...

The size is actually 11648x4304 pixels....definitely a custom print job...
