In processing some of the images from last week's trip to Colorado, I realized that one in particular tugged at a childhood memory of a vacation and its images recorded in the ancient days of film. My mind's eye remembers these childhood trips through the color cast and grain of long lost Agfa prints. A vividness that is very different from the high def of most digital images - much like the difference between the sound of a vinyl 78 rpm record and a modern CD. The image itself is a 6-shot, handheld panorama made with a Canon G10. Post-processing of the RAW images in Aperture, pano-merging in PS and then a dose of Lucis and Topaz Adjust 3.0. Break all the rules on how to shoot a pano, then spend time in post-processing to try to recapture the look of a far simpler camera and a discarded film. Go figure! And the view is from a turn-off on Trail Ridge Road, the highest continuous motorway in the US, with more than eight miles above 11,000 feet and a high point of 12,183 feet.
