HIGH-RESOLUTION TRACKED PANORAMAS

Eric has been one of the pioneers of tracked panoramas since he seriously started investing his time and money into nightscape photography and astrophotography around 2015. In terms of high-resolution tracked panoramas we are generally referring to photo with a separate foreground (which is not tracked) and a sky (which is tracked). Obviously, because of the rotation of the spherical(!) Earth (that we are standing on), we do not need to track the foreground, only the sky portion of the photo. Tracking stars allows for longer exposures to be taken, generally of less than 5 minutes. This method is particularly advantages when using longer focal lengths, where taking many photos for the foreground and sky allows a high-resolution image to be composed using a panorama stacking method.

Spent last weekend introducing our daughter to the wonders of central Idaho while visiting my parents at our family cabin. It was a magical experience being able to show her the things I've been seeing and doing for my entire life. Having the grandpa
Bry and I spent 4 days down at the Best Friends Sanctuary outside Kanab, it was our first extended trip since the birth of our daughter in January. Needless to say we haven't really done much/any nightscape imaging for many months, I decided I coudln
The Bryce Canyon area is full of interesting compositions and has become one of our favorite areas to travel to in Utah. Recently we had the pleasure of teaching a mult-day/night workshop at the park and spent our first night here. I'm continuing to

Last weekend we got to explore some areas I had been longing to shoot at for many years, including some of the incredible bentonite hills of Utah. The colors in these hills are amazing, deep reds and purples that are contrasted by whites and greys, i
Doing some more variations of the edits for this shot, it has been quite the learning process figuring out how to stretch the .fits files while developing natural color. Creating equal and even stretches across every exposure is....a pain, finally fi
