The Magic Of Winter I (2018) 3:1 Panorama
The Magic Of Winter was photographed a short distance from my home above Ruidoso New Mexico. The image was taken the morning after a 30 inch snowstorm several days after Christmas 2018. The image is actually a composite of 98 high resolution images blended into a 3:1 panorama. The process allows for extraordinarily detailed fine art prints up to 40x120". Prints on fine art canvas are available up to 32x96". The waist deep snow at this location required snowshoes to get in and out. A 110 inch tripod and step ladder were used to photograph the scene from a higher perspective thus contributing to sense of depth the image is known for.
