Panoramic Photos from our Vegas Trip

I’m still compiling the photos and recaps of our trip to Las Vegas, but until those are done you can enjoy these panoramic photos of various places near there.
For each of these, I took multiple photos from a spot and used Autostitch to blend them into one big photo.

Red Rock Canyon
This photo is not from Red Rock Canyon; it is from a hiking trail near there. It should give you the general idea of the area though.
Hoover Dam
Autostitch: poor man’s fisheye lens.
Be sure the camera strap is fastened around your wrist when you hold the camera over the side of Hoover Dam.
Valley of Fire
That’s the visitor’s center on the left. The rock formations that the people come to see are on the right.
Zion National Park
That one was not very impressive, but we were on the canyon floor so it was hard to get a good panoramic photo. If we had more time there, we could have gone to some higher elevations and had some better views.
These next two photos are my first attempts at HDR photos. I took a couple of photos from the same spot but with different exposures.
That one turned out okay, but the next one is not.
I think the default hue and saturation settings that Corel PaintShop Pro applies when making HDR composites are too aggressive. That, and I should take more than two exposures and I should ensure the camera does not move at all between shots.
But it was fun to try.
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shone forth.
