For some reason the photomerge element of LR and CS6 has crashed.  For free, for laughs, for grins, I tried MS Composite Editor.  I am so pleased – it works beautifully.  After the photomerge, returned it to LR and On1 to doctor it up.  Here are the results for your viewing pleasure.

Details of the pano:  75 or so images reduced to 1500 along the long edge.  Final crop in a 16×9 format.  I pushed the structure of the image, partly because I took this as the sun was disappearing behind the mountains and the light was fading, but also because I think the details are so important in a landscape.  The new leaves and flowers, all green, merge, but they all have different textures, and therein (for me) lies the beauty.

Yesterday it rained. Tomorrow it will rain. Today, maybe it will rain.

Here, in the drought, a tropical summer thunderstorm is something that I have never seen in SoCal. It will be interesting to see how this affects the dryness all around. As well, having an air humidity above 0% makes for crankiness and stickiness – not something I am used to in the summertime anymore!
