Description It was easier to assemble this pano than the first batch because this is 10 photos, and the first is 60+. This was shot with a super wide tokina @ 11mm. In all honesty I pushed through this one because I wanted a background I could stretch across a dual display.

The day was somewhat clouded over, so you cant really get a feel for the depth of the canyon as much. This works well for a pano though, as the cloud cover provides a uniform exposure and little ghosting from shadows.

The photo is scaled down by roughly 50% before cropping. I was shooting for a horizontal resolution of 2160 final product and came up a bit short. I could upload a full pano and you can see there are a few goats (where's waldo) and a bunch of other cool details if requested. Enjoy.

Advanced critique on this one please.

Not yet published I am still procrastinating/ working on it. It is massive to me. I zoomed in to around 100mm and made three horizontal sweeps to capture the sky, canyon top, and canyon bottom. It is currently occupying my HD as a 2.7 GB tiff file.

It's such a beautiful place.. we were there in 1978 when there was still only one hotel on Kauai... or two maybe... wonderful shot

That is what I've heard. There are a few hotels now, but not many. You can definitely find peace and quiet anywhere on the island. My friends said that not many people vacationed to Kauai because it was so remote. They have good rules too like, "building height must not exceed a mature coconut tree", so you don't feel like you are in a city. No plastic bags are allowed on the island either, which I thought was amazing. Thanks for the info Dave.
