Lake Watson is a popular spot for wedding photography and is 1:15 min SW of Sedona. The lake was built in the early 1900s by the Chino Valley Irrigation District to irrigate grain crops, but the irrigation scheme was unsuccessful. The City of Prescott bought the lake in 1997 to preserve it as a recreational area.

First image handheld pano and the rest are perspectives of the lake scenes. The handheld pano can be used with still wildlife when your lens is too long.

Nice shots. Any idea what's causing the banding in the sky in the first two shots? I'm seeing curved banding only in the sky on the first two shots, but I have never seen it appear in that rainbow type shape before.

Interesting. I can't really see these on my monitor of the RAW images, only the jpgs after you pointed it out. On the first one it is a composite stitched in LRc using Photo Merge. I choose cylindrical. On the second image, I had LRc limit the file size to 4mb. I see if I take that off and set the jpg quality to 90 the file size 15.5 mb but it doesn't seem to do the banding. I just tested the pano and the banding remains there so I am guessing it's the Photo Merge.
