Winter Sun on Mount Hood by Brian Kroll

This image is the subject of a blog post at krollimages.com/2013/01/winter-sun-on-mount-hood /
Gigapan of Mount Hood from along US Hwy 26. Original GigaPan was 1138 Megapixels (62100x18328) taken into Photoshop and cropped to it's current 919.2 MP size (54299×16929).

Those with sharp eyes will see skiers on the Magic Mile and Palmer Runs at Timberline along with the more obvious structures and snow cat. There is also a hawk or eagle that ended up in a frame just about dead center on the mountain.

The shoot consisted of 180 images (20x9) from a Nikon D7000 with a Nikon 70-300vr on a GigaPan Pro. In Photoshop I blended in portions of two substitute frames to deal with clouds that snuck accross the scene on the original shoot. I did shoot brackets but did not use them for this stitch. Images were 0.002 second exposures at ƒ/11 with a 300mm zoom on a 1.5 crop sensor equating to 450mm 35mm equivalent. I used the larger blending region in Stitch.
