2. I like a lot!
Did you stitch these together? So far I haven't caught the panorama bug, just the strange animal picture bug, but I may try it. I need to find something worthy of a panorama....maybe the wildlife lookout at sunset, or the Mississippi River.

Was this a post morning carpool pic?

3. I'm an insomniac..
I shot that this morning (Sunday) at 7:21 AM.. Sunrise was at 7:38..

I've been up since about 4:30. :(

This one was a total of 17 images stitched together.

I would love to see either the wildlife lookout or the Mississipi.. The Chattahoochee flows through Atlanta and is just on the other side of Six Flags from where I shot the picture..

6. Thanks...
Yes, I used a tripod on this one since I had a 200mm telephoto zoom all the way out..

If I had shot it at 100mm I could probably have gotten away with handheld but the light was fairly dim still.

And here is an HDR shot from the same spot a few minutes later, a composite of five single shots in one stop steps processed in Photomatix.
