PANORAMA PHOTOGRAPHY

SCHWABACHER LANDING - GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK

The Grand Teton Mountains create a unique profile across the skies of Wyoming and Idaho. This panorama was captured from the famous, Schwabacher Landing. If you travel to Grand Teton National Park I would recommend you plan a morning taking in the view from this point. 180503_MAC_001218-Pano.dng

MORNING STORM - GREAT SAND DUNES NATIONAL PARK

While Colorado is known primarily for the Rocky Mountains, there is another less famous area called the Great Sand Dunes National Park. At an elevation of up to 9,000 feet, the sand dunes in the park are the highest in the world. I woke well before dawn to be in a position to see the Great Sand Dunes tower above the landscape. What I couldn't have planned for was the shape of the clouds around the 14,000 feet mountain in the background. 180827_MAC_2474-Pano.dng

LAKE WANAKA SUNSET

Last year I kept a promise to my mom by taking her to visit New Zealand. This was her first trip outside the US, so I wanted to make it special. For two weeks we traveled around the south island taking in the fantastic landscapes. On a beautiful afternoon on the bank of Lake Wanaka, we sat down to appreciate the snow-capped peaks of the distant mountains. I started taking pictures of the lake and mountains but wasn't happy with the way the pictures depicted the scene. My next approach was to capture Lake Wanaka as a panoramic photograph. This is the scene that I was able to capture. 181031_MAC_1125.dng

SAND HARBOR LAKE TAHOE

On North Lake Tahoe there is a park and boat launch called Sand Harbor. It is a beautiful spot to gather and watch the sunset. The beach at Sand Harbor is dotted with beautiful boulders of all shapes and sizes. The colors of the rocks contrast the deep blue waters of Lake Tahoe. 190121_MAC_0107-Pano-Edit-Edit.tif

Hiking from Sunshine Village in the waning light of the day was a magical experience. The views of Rock Isle and Larix Lakes made a memorable end of the day.

MT ASSINIBOINE FROM A DISTANCE

One of my favorite experiences in my first visit to Banff was the hike from Sunshine Mountain Lodge to see the peak of Mt. Assiniboine. The beautiful, unique formation of Assiniboine created a striking form on the horizon.
