The Crops Are In

Another try at doing a panorama.
   We were on the road when my wife called me on the cell:  'do I have to sleep with this thing while you are gone?'--- Whatttt???. -- You left that tripod thingy on the bed, am I supposed to sleep with it?
   Guess what I am trying to say this is hand held.
 Olympus OM-10 W/ 35/70 1:3.6 . Using the autowinder with a lighter touch release.

Beautiful work, Ron.  Are those hills in the distance old dunes?

On a tehnical note, the picture is slightly tilted (check the roofs).

[Ronald Bishop]

No, the stubble has been burnt off and now the field is ready to till and plant winter wheat.
    I think the 'curve' is from not having the camera level, I was braceing off a fencepost, shooting from left to right and sort of lost it on the last of the three frames? May be partly due to the parallax of the stitching process also?
    If my tripod hadn't been napping at home maybe the rain water would have ran off the other side of the roofs?

Burning fields------

That is stunning!  Very well done.  Makes me want to try it.

Beautiful light on those hills.

I was thinking by the shape of the hills, that they look like old dunes.  They could have also gotten that shape from being glacial dumps.  Just wondering.  Where was this photo taken?

It was taken south of Waitsburg Wa.which is near Walla Walla. { the town they loved so much that they named it twice }:rolleyes:

Walla Walla Means Most Beautiful Right Right? Reason I say that is when i studied Languages around the world to repeat a word meant to make it the most powerful in the sentence or area as in a towns name....

[Ronald Bishop]

Thanks to Google:

Proud residents of the town often brag about it as "the town so nice they named it twice."[7] Walla Walla is a Native American name that means "Place of Many Waters." The original name of the town was Steptoeville named after Colonel Edward Steptoe.[8]

We do have a Steptoe Butte so not all was lost.
