Went to the Canadian Rockies in April 2004, during the cool springtime. Here is a panorama of one of the mountain ranges of the Canadian Rockies, just outside of Banff. Absolutely stunning there! There is a glacier to the left of the middle of the picture. The photos were stitched up the same way I did the Maya Bay panorama, mentioned in an earlier post. The sky however, had to be replaced because of the different exposure settings (replaced it with a blue gradient). You can see the minivan me and my wife used in the bottom right of the photo.

Maya Bay was a nice destination for my honeymoon on Phi Phi Island (it’s in Thailand, eh). Excellent snorkeling nearby in the other bays, but not at Maya Bay though. Extremely crowded! Got there by private boat (powered by a longtail prop). Of course, if you must know the bay has been popularized by the movie “The Beach” starring Leo DiCaprio.
I took the panoramic image that is the title image of this site, but I didn’t lock the exposure on some parts of the image, and some parts don’t blend well (I didn’t have a tripod handy). The panoramic image was created using the PhotoMerge feature in Adobe’s Photoshop Elements 2.0.
View the panoramic image as a Quicktime VR file (3.5 Megabytes).
