Autumn Deluge
Raging Upper Falls at Temperance River State Park after a few days of rain. Flow was about one-quarter of this the previous day. "Flashy" rivers along the north shore such as this one subside as quickly as they begin flowing owing to the steep, small watersheds along the shore.
This is a single-row gigapan comprised of 13 vertical high-resolution images stitched together to form a panorama, using a polarizing filter, standard 50mm lens, and small pin-hole apertures. Tripod required, of course. Long shutters provide the white-hair like flow in the water.
The gigapan technique allows you to more accurately capture and convey the sweeping aspect of your field of view, while enabling superb attainment of sharp detail and also allowing for printing at very large sizes that can't be realized if cropping one or only a few shots taken with wide-angle lenses. The only problem is finding the wall space for these, which can be 6 to 15 feet wide, if you want to print them at full size.
