In all, 245 high resolution images were combined to make the master panorama. Several images will be added to the portfolio which represent portions of the whole image. The movement of the clouds captured in the image actually was due to the 7 minutes it took to expose all 245 exposures. This technique results in an image that is so high resolution that the individual pine needles can be counted on every tree on the mountain. The image is unique in that it was only possible with very light wind and just the right arrangement of high clouds streaming in from the Southwest. The master panorama is represented by 28 billion pixels. Fine art landscape photography by Robert D.

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.

The image features Frontier rig 26 drilling a directional well for XTO Energy. At first glance the sunrise imparts warmth. In reality the temperature was 13 degrees. Not bad for the Bakken or Boulder Wyoming. Definitely cool for the far Northern Delaware Basin. Look closely and you can see a jackrabbit looking over his shoulder. He stood there for 10 minutes one eyed locked on me hoping not to move. The image is a 2:1 high resolution panorama composited from 63 images made over three minutes time. The lens used was the sharpest yet made by the hand of man. Seven light levels were captured within the 63 images allowing all parts of the image to be recorded in perfect detail.

For this particular year the end of October meant an end to the fall leaf change. The remnants of Autumn can be seen all around. While the Great Smoky Mountains are our nation's busiest national park, there are many areas such as this one were you can spend some alone time far away from the crowds. The secret to photographing this park is knowing where you are going to photograph in advance. I spent my first two trips here in 2012 and 2011 researching the locations I spent a month photographing in October and November 2017. Look for many new images from this trip as I update the website over the next 6 months. When in Ruidoso New Mexico, make an appointment to stop by my studio gallery at Topside high above the Village of Ruidoso in the Central Mountains of New Mexico.

Upper Green Briar West Fork Little Pigeon River https://www.energylandscapes.net/photo/221/ https://www.energylandscapes.net/images/xl/1W9A4746-III-Rev-IX-web.jpg The Magic Returns The Magic Returns was photographed on the Tremont River in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in late October 2017. This was my 4th trip photographing the rivers of The Great Smoky Mountains on the Tennessee/ North Carolina border. The location is often referred to as Tremont Falls as it lays on the upper reaches of the Tremont River in Eastern Tennessee. Each year I evaluate wether to photograph the great Smoky Mountains during the Fall leaf change from Mid October through early November. The last two years I declined to photograph due to low water levels due to persistent drought. The drought conditions culminated in the Fall of 2016 when over 3000 structures were burned in the Galinburgh area. This is a standard size print; however it is actually a six panel panoramic composed of 48 high resolution images at seven levels of light. The image is a featured print during Spring 2018 at my studio gallery At Top Side overlooking Ruidoso New Mexico. Fine art landscape photography by Robert D. Flaherty.

The location is an old stripper well originally drilled around 1980. The Pump Jack was photographed at a close upward angle using a tilt shift or perspective control lens. The use of this lens renders perfect focus thought the image. The lens also provides a strong three dimensional feel when used in this way.

Wether on fine art paper or fine art canvas, The image looks best spot lit with 4000K led lighting. The image was taken at sunset in Western Lea County New Mexico during the dry Winter of 2018. The clouds above the rig were caused by high winds aloft passing over the Guadalupe Mountains of Western Texas and New Mexico. This cloud type is often referred to as a lens cloud. The image is a non HDR composite of 16 levels of light ranging from white to total black. This allows the sun to be held back completely to its original shape while rendering all details in the foreground and drilling rig down to the finest details. Conventional photography would only allow the drilling rig and foreground to be displayed as a black silhouette. The image is an 85mm capture made with the Zeiss Otus 85mm 1.4. The lens has the distinction of being the highest performing lens ever made. The type of lens I choose and the resolution I photograph in are a large part of the very fine detail that my work is known for. Fine art Oil & Gas Photography by Robert D.

My favorite time of year to photograph the Delaware is during the rainy season from June through October. With the right light an ordinary oilfield asset such as this one can be turned into a work of art. This image is actually a composite of 63 high resolution images into one panorama that is up to 16 times the resolution of traditional professional photography. The bump in resolution and detail allows the image to be used as a fine art wall mural as large as 20x40 feet. The image can also be reproduced as a fine art print with a sense of depth and detail that few people will ever see. Fine art prints on canvas or smooth water color paper are available from 12x24" to 40x80". Going into 2018 I will be photographing water infrastructure and Midstream oil & gas assets throughout the Delaware Basin. Commissioned projects are available.

Early fall means cool crisp evenings with 200 mile visibility. Perfect weather for high resolution photography. An alpine wind break was used here to shelter the camera from a 15 mile per hour wind thus insuring absolute image sharpness. The image consists of 3 vertical 50 megapixel exposures combined to make one 120 megapixel image. The Zeiss Otus 85mm 1.2 was used to capture the image.

The image was made using three high resolution cameras calibrated together and aimed each at a third of the location. The three images are then composited together to make one very high resolution image. The use of three cameras is necessary when photographing lightning due to its unpredictable and transitory nature. The end result is the highest quality image possible. This is especially important when producing very large scale fine art photography such as a fine art mural. The resolution in this print would support a mural up to 16 feet wide. The boost in resolution also makes for very finely detailed fine art prints on canvas or water color paper. Fine Art Oil & Gas Photography By Robert D.

At an altitude of 11,600 feet, the late afternoon sunlight can be seen shining through the rain shafts and virga not yet reaching the ground. In early June the moisture from the Summer Monsoon has not yet reached the West side of the Central Mountains.

Noram rig 24 is shown drilling a directional well during the 2015 summer monsoon season. This is a high resolution instant composite panorama made by photographing the left, center and rights quadrants simultaneously with 3 separate but matching camera systems. The three cameras were attached to a 48" nodal bar and calibrated to capture all three parts of the image at the precise instant the lightning struck. The result is a image that is twice the resolution of a single frame. Only a few photographers world wide use this technique to instantly capture lighting in high resolution.
