High Above Home

(1:2 Ratio - 300 dpi up through 60"x30") This super panoramic look at Northern California used two dozen photos to compile into a very detailed photo. Some highlights of what places can be seen here include Beale AFB, Lincoln, Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, Mather, Placerville, Auburn, Grass Valley, Nevada City, a large swath of the Sierras and Lake Tahoe.

Auroral View

(1:3 Panoramic Ratio) This is a composite of about 12 photos, blended together to make one continuous panoramic selfie.

Footprints in Time

(4:5 Ratio) This is a composite of several photos taken at Pololu Beach on the big island of Hawaii. This is one of my first forays into Landscape photography. The beach is black sand and made very distinctive footprints.

BayView

(1:3 Ratio) This is a composite of several photos taken of San Francisco Bay from out over the water. The tiny Golden Gate Bridge is near the center. The waters are tinted from the spring runoff. In the full resolution photo, detail in the city is easy to see and you can see across the central valley to the snow capped Sierras.

Through the Terminator

(1:2 Ratio) The U-2 passes through the edge of the shadow of the Earth, known as the terminator. Day turns to night as the terminator sweeps up and across the sky.

High Eclipse

(4:5 Ratio) Composite of a wide angle image shot during the Great American Eclipse, along with 13 photos taken of the moon as it was eclipsed through each stage

(4:6 Ratio) Composite of several shots of San Francisco Bay taken in the spring. Note the salt ponds in the south bay and the muddy nature of the water due to spring rain runoff.

Radiant Sunset

(1:2 Ratio) This near sunset shot was made from the backseat of a two-seat training U-2.

High Reflection

(4:6 Ratio) This flag was flown on every mission I ever flew in the U-2. Here it shows off its colors with a nice reflection.

Milky Way over Kourion
