| This is a photo of Sahale Mountain and Doubtful lake, in the same photo, taken from Sahale Arm on September 1, 2007. This mountain was big enough so that it took two photos to create this, my camera could not zoom out enough. The technique was to fuse two photos together using Photo Smart Premier 6.5, and after a while of resizing, and going through glitches, I finnally got it. No piant (The program) required, which I use to some times fix up minar glitches. Also to resize this one, I used Picasa 2, using the export mode to resize to 800 by 730 pixels to get onto Treknature. This was an awesome hike, and my favorite mountain and place in the world! on the right in the distance is Mount Buckner, and above the lake is Horseshoe basin which is a part of Sahale Mountain which the summit is on the left.

Dear Joshua,
I am impressed with your coverage & making us see what is difficult to view otherwise. This panorama must be amazing but looks overcropped till we read your technical notes. The mountains with green patches of wood, snow & turquoise blue lake with small island in the foreground are unique. TFS.

PS: I did visit the Sahale Mountain Page & found the terrain very similar to Himalayan Ladakh (which is >12,000 feet ASL). It is impressive.

Another very impressive capture, Josh!
I love all the grooves that the rivers have cut into the mountain.
Very nice lighting and great colours.
Sharp with immense detail!
Excellent work!
Haven't spoken to you in a while.... I hope everything's tip-top :-)
Well done Josh!
Joe

Hi Josh
Now this is a perfect example of why it is so essential to have notes with ones posting. I've always maintained that nobody can learn anything about nature (or photography) if there are no notes to inform the viewer about the subject or the scenery. This of course is also true for the secondary aspect of TrekNature, namely the photographic facet, if the technical aspects are not explained.
This is so important or of such special interest when one sees a complex image like this one which might stretch the visual senses or challenge the imagination to interpret or fully comprehend the dimensions of that which one might be observing. This is why Dr. Subhash Ranjan said: "This panorama must be amazing but looks over cropped till we read your technical notes". You see, you need to remember that the viewer has never seen this mountain range before and do not have any grasp of the enormity or vastness of scale and dimension. Initially one tries to figure out what exactly is going on, but only once one have read the notes then one can grasp the true size and beauty of this image. That is when the immensity of scale only dawn upon the viewer and the awesome reality makes one react with a: "WOW, this is great stuff. I whish I was there".
You did great work with the total package: the notes, the processing, and the final presentation. Good DOF which ensured excellent details throughout the full range of the scenery, splendid natural colours, and a fascinating composition which includes an extended range vertically. This is really where the interesting part is to be found (according to my interpretation anyway). The foreground starts of with a small triangular piece of the mountain upon which you were standing while you captured the shot of the other mountain across the valley. Unless it was the same mountain that just made a horse-shoe towards the left and thus came around in front of you. Anyway, directly after this piece of foreground it falls away to a beautiful dark blue lake deep down below in the basin and on the other side rises to the majestic mountain range with its impressive snow dappled peaks. All the way retaining excellent sharpness and remarkable details.
Well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot
