Lost & Found

So while my DH was playing with his new toy, he borrowed my spare CF card and said, "Hey I think you've got more photos on here from Utah." My response?

!!!!!!!

So I uploaded them and saw that they were what I call The Andy Experiment. Sometime along the course of the trip Andy had suggested taking a bunch of random shots without looking through the viewfinder and just let CS3 stitch them together. After a couple of tries (and changing parameters -- whee fun with 10 RAW images merging on a G4 Powerbook) I got something presentable!

This ain't no David Hockney Pear Blossom Highway #2 (which, by the way, is a heck of a lot more impressive in real life than anything you'll see in the museum gift shop or on the internet), but it was sure fun to do. I even did some post-processing on it because the original image was way dull.

I'm sure the 12 of us (and the 16,000+ on Dgrin) are sick to death of seeing this lump of sand but here it is again, this time with missing edges and weird exposure artifacts and the cool transparent bits filled in because I just didn't feel like trying to figure out how to preserve transparency in Photoshop this late:



Well, it was interesting for me. *sniff*
