Grand Teton National Park - Wyoming, USA[/b]
EOS 1D, 24-70 @ 59mm, 4 frames, 1/125, f/16, ISO 100

While many photos have been taken of the old falling down structures along Mormon Row on the East side of Grand Teton NP, I hadn't seen a panoramic shot so I thought I'd try one. Here is the result, it is comprised of 4 frames shot at identical exposures, focal lengths, and White balance settings.

This is really cool.
I like the panorama idea here. I still think it makes a little stronger image cropping off the tree on the right. Probably just my traditionalist eye.

I've done a few attempts at this. Including my 30+ frame panorama from the Homer Spit. This one turned out a lot better than mine. First you need to start with a clean sensor. BTW, I like the tree.

This is great - I liked reading about Mormon Row in your Photographer's Perspective article and it's even more cool to see an image of it. :)

Simpley superb, E.J. Love the excellent golden light on the barn.
Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap, but memories are priceless.

E.J.,

I like the way the light is hitting the barn and the tree gives it balance. Well done.

The tree is nice--it adds balance to the weight of the barn.

I love your panoramas and this one's no exception. Tree nicely balances barn. Would have liked just a bit more room on the bottom.

Do you end up losing appreciable room top and bottom when stitching? I've found that an issue, even when I thought I had given myself enough slack when composing.

Rich I hardly lose anything because I am anal retentive about the set-up making sure the tripod base is perfectly level and then making sure that the camera on the ballhead is perfectly level so that when I swing the lens from left to right, everything stays in perfect alignment. I typically take about 5 minutes setting up a shot like this.

Superb!! I've been looking for old barn to photograph here in Florida but there are very few...the wood rots away too fast. There are restored houses but they always appear somewhat sterile to me and don't have the character of this structure.

Very nice, EJ! FWIW I don't care for the tree but I like the road so it's a trade off for me.

I like it! Especially the green tree! It's an unexpected element that makes the image something more than a building and the mountains. It means there is water and this is an oasis in a sea of open space. (Please don't tell me there's a condo on the other side of the road. :lol: )

I really like your panorama images! I guess I'm going to have to try your technique.
