OK for purposes of this thread let's call a pano anything with 2x1 or greater aspect ratio. Vertical or horizontal qualify. I'll kick it off.

Beautiful, another great capture, time to take a hike and find something interesting to post. My quiver is empty :cry:

Thanks - much appreciated! I should add that the photo of High Falls is a true panorama stitched together in Lightroom from 8 individual images. All the images were captured hand held because I'd been too lazy to hike in with my tripod....
I should go back and reprocess them using photolab and lightroom
Cheers, Alex

Well done, Joe, especially hand held. Like how the log in the foreground leads to a focal point which I find to be an important element of a panorama. Good sky too.

Actually the term "panorama" refers purely to the format irrespective of how it is produced. Technically images that are stitched are "composite" images. Which may or may not be in panoramic format. Back in the day before high resolution bodies came out I stitched images simply to increase resolution for purposes of having enough detail for large prints. They weren't necessarily wide/panorama format. The reason that I specified at least 2x1 aspect ratio at the beginning of the thread is because there's no agreed definition (that I'm aware of) of what actually constitutes a panorama. Arguably anything longer than the traditional 2x3 format. Or now maybe beyond 9x16?

Thank you. We plan to revisit several areas in RMNP this year and will carry a light tripod or maybe a monopod to capture this location and several others. Our daughter lives in Longmont, a short drive away. She is another photo geek.

Good points....I do think of panoramas as wide format photos and was trying to differentiate between a cropped photo as opposed to a stitched series of photos to create a wide format image - rather imprecisely as it turned out. Composite is a better term, as I'm aware that wide format cameras capture panoramic images without the need to crop or stitch.
I like the panoramic format as it can add interest to an image. Thanks for starting this thread.
cheers, A.
