New Images: Shasta Dam from the Air

The same client that needed the high resolution panoramas of the Sundial Bridge also wanted some aerial photography from the Redding area as well. While I took a lot of aerial photos of the Sundial Bridge (which I'll post next week), I also got several images of Shasta Dam from the air. Since the lake is virtually full (for the first time in years), this was great opportunity.

Even though it wasn't the perfect day for it, I managed to capture some really nice images showing the dam, the lake and Mount Shasta in the background.

New Images: Panoramas of the Sundial Bridge in Redding

I recently did a job for a client where they needed some very high resolution panoramic photos of the Sundial Bridge in Redding.

I spent a very beautiful day shooting around the bridge, making high resolution panoramic images, consisting of three to six stitched 21 megapixel images. The resulting images are 9000 to 12000 pixels wide.

You can see the full set of panoramic photos from that shoot here, or look at the samples, below (best viewed larger).

Spring in Bidwell Park - Part 2

The second set of spring photos of Bidwell Park  in Chico in the Spring.

These were taken upstream from One Mile, but still in lower park. At this time of year, the forest is amazingly lush and green.
