Here's a multi-shot pano from the Smokies. Zipped past this spot on our way back to camp at the end of the day, turned around and set up the tripod in the fading light. Got just a few shots off before it was too dark. I think this is a 5 or 6 shot pano.

Check out the larger version!!

C&C welcome.

Omg!...Creamy richness, full, smooth, whatever else you want to say. This just oozes fall, fading light, flowing water, and the ending to a grand day in the great wide open. Well done sir! :toast:

Phillip, no wonder you turned around and went back. The colors and light are beautiful, the light you have on the stream and the rocks especially so. Really well done.

Beautiful rich colors...you have not given the camera settings but I presume that it is shot with a long exposure...

Thanks for including the larger version. What a nice spectrum of color and wonderful sense of light. The dark tones seem a bit dark to me, but I know this is what many people prefer.

Beautiful fall scene that needs to be printed large Philip! I especially love those glowing yellows!

What a beautiful fall scene, Phillip. Great job with the panoramic stitch. Wonderful colors and great comp. All the rocks in the stream, some nice reflections and those beautiful glowing trees all add up to an awesome fall scene! The beautiful late afternoon light looks like the perfect time for the shot too! Really nice work!

Beautiful image. The colors are great and the depth due to the stream is terrific. I could see toning down the brightest yellows at the top, they're a bit overpowering.

Beautiful array of autumn color. Your use of the pano format works so very well with the stream and trees. A large print must look incredible.
