We hiked every morning and evening in Death Valley getting to locations we wanted to shoot. The hike to this was the shortest but I thought I was going to die getting there, only about 1/2 mile but a particularly steep grade. My daughter was with me on the trip so I was doing my best not to embarrass myself by repeatedly having to stop and catch my breath, I cannot ever remember being so grateful to reach a photographic location.

This image in Death Valley is the largest I have ever shot, its was 9 images shot just as the sun was coming up but still blocked by the mountain behind me.

I've never done more that a 3 image horizontal stitch. If you don't mind sharing, do you start with 3 images at the top, then next row etc...

Any cautionary tales when doing stitching like this? I imagine there's limitations around long exposures? Clouds and reflections in water would likely end up not lining up over the time it would take to build the sequence?
Limitations are to keep it to unmoving objects? Mountain ranges and architecture?

And that's the great thing about the 90. Perfect use case for this lens. Great image Greg! You can just walk right into it.

Jeff, this was my first time to try this, I started on the bottom row and worked my way up. I processed in capture one exported and did the stitching in Lightroom.

I would imagine you need the right opportunity for it to work well, particularly with sky and water as you mentioned. In this particular case the only challenge was the light was changing rapidly.

This image is from a section of the Poudre River Trail which is near my office. It's been a couple months since I've taken the IQ out and this morning's fog seemed like a good opportunity.

When I got back to the office to look at the image it was obvious that I hadn't used the camera for a while. I forgot to confirm that the lens tilt and swing was zero'd out. The plane of focus cuts through at an angle from the front right to the rear left. The focus is wasn't what I intended, but luckily it doesn't ruin the image.
