Panoramas - Horizontal/Vertical

Long Shadows

A lone tree at sunset in a field in rural Manitoba, Canada.

Manhattan

This is a stitched panorama of Manhattan, New York from the New Jersey side of the river. There is some boat traffic going through here, so I used a long exposure for each shot to keep the water smooth and make the stitching go well. This is over 130 megapixel, so it can printed as large as you want!

St. Patrick's Cathedral

This is St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan, New York. I was able to get a couple shots with a tripod before security made me go handheld, but at least I got a few at a low ISO and sharp aperture so that this will make a nice clean large print.

Blueberry Pond

Autumn in Vermont. This was just after sunset at Blueberry Pond.

Callanish Sunrise

One of the world's great ancient sites, the standing stones at Callanish on the Isle of Lewis in the Western Hebrides of Scotland. If you go during low season and arrive at sunrise or stay until sunset, you can have this site all to yourself.

Tumbling

A vertical panorama of the gentle waterfall on the Mackenzie King estate in Gatineau Park in Quebec, Canada.

Meoto Iwa Sunrise

This is a two minute exposure taken at Meoto Iwa (the "wedded rocks") on the Ise peninsula in Mie Prefecture, Japan. There were a lot of photographers staking a spot to catch a photo of the sun rising between the rocks with the rope. I prefer to do my own thing and took some pre-sunrise shots from this spot (but I still ran over to get a shot of the rising sun, even though I wonder what it would have looked like from this angle).

Sunset at Low Tide

Sunset photographed at a beautiful beach on North Uist, an island in the Western Hebrides of Scotland. This is a crop of the same photo that can be found in the Landscapes gallery.

Hills of Lewis

This misty scene is from the Isle of Lewis in the Western Hebrides of Scotland.

Sinuous

I had come out to Lake Winnipeg to photograph the giant ice cracks that form in the spring, but I was too early. Instead, I looked around for an interesting pattern in the snow drifts on top of the ice. Here I found a nice S shaped one just in time for sunset.

Stalker Sunset

Castle Stalker on the west of Scotland, relatively close to Oban, at sunset.

Moonrise

A full moon rising over Lake Winnipeg, Canada. This was actually a very full moon, called a supermoon (when the moon is at its closest point to the earth, and about 15% larger than usual) but as it rises it looks smaller. Once that happened I switched to a wider angle showing the reflection on the lake.

Prairie Clouds

A line of clouds floating just above the open landscape of the Canadian prairie in Saskatchewan. Stitched at 55 megapixels, ready for printing large.

Barra Beach 1

Sunrise at the tidal beach of Eoligarry, on the Isle of Barra, Scotland. At low tide, this is one of the only airports in the world that uses the beach as the runway. The Western Hebrides are an amazing travel destination, still relatively undiscovered. There are beautiful beaches, ancient archaeological sites, authentic island life, and great seafood.

Toronto

This is a two minute exposure of downtown Toronto, taken from the nearby islands during the "blue hour". The ferries go to three different points on the islands, and I think that the next time I'm there I'll try another spot.

Dunskey

Dunskey Castle on the western coast of Scotland. I love these cliff-side castle ruins of Scotland.

Florence

The beautiful city of Florence, Italy just after sunset from Piazalle Michelangelo. A stitched panorama; at over 50 megapixels its ready to be printed large!

Corniglia 1

Sunset at the town of Corniglia (pronounced "cor-nee-lee-ah") in the beautiful region of Cinque Terre, Italy. It's hard to get to the town (it's the only one of the five that requires a long climb, don't miss the bus that goes up!) and this viewpoint was a bit of a hike and hard to find, but it has a nice authentic feel as opposed to the other four towns of the Cinque Terre.

Autumn Road

This was a surprising find while on a road trip through Ontario to photograph the fall foliage.

Aurora

Reflections of the northern lights on Lake Winnipeg, Canada.

The Crevice

This is a giant limestone crevice, many meters tall, in central Manitoba, Canada. It's a stitched panorama, and at about 50 megapixels it's ready to be printed large. This was one of three images chosen for a book called Manitoba by Manitoba, published by McNally Robinson booksellers in Winnipeg.

Pathways

This is the surreal area of intersecting levels of walkways at the Canadian Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Giudecca

A view of Giudecca island in Venice, Italy, from across the large canal. A long exposure helped to smooth out the water.
