I'll take this opportunity to thank everyone for their feedback and respond to various questions. WRT the Pentax World Photoshoot, I noticed that Dario Bonazza and John Francis have contributed general photos, but not "Pentax World Day" shots. I saw a few other PDML names (hi, Cesar!) but without photos. My pano didn't take much patience, Godfrey - 5 quick shots, handheld, and automatic stitching in Arcsoft Panorama Maker 3. Very quick and dirty. As I *try* to do all the time, for this shot I followed Galen Rowell's primary rule of photography: Start with good light and then look for a subject. I was driving home from a video production meeting and we started to get this wonderful golden light before sunset so I got off the expressway and looked for high ground :) The clouds not only make the photo more interesting, they help the pano-stitching software get a grip on the sky. (Panorama Maker 3 isn't very good at dealing with clear blue skies.) I'll be bring a large (as large as I can make) print to GFM in June :)
