My next series of landscape images is one that I have wanted to do for sometime now.
Have you ever thought about what it would have looked like if you had just stepped off a Spanish Galleon in 1517 onto the shores of the Florida coast?

There would be no Asphalt or Concrete High Rise jungle to wonder through...no cars speeding by or planes flying overhead...no power lines or cell phone towers...but just a place of peace and harmony with Nature. No immediate sign of the Hand of Man, just the landscape itself and the wildlife that calls these places their home.

Last week while camping in my favorite Florida State Park, I walked just a few hundred yards my campsite to all but one of these panoramic landscape images. Myakka River State Park is by far a photographers paradise for both wildlife and scenic landscapes. It has nearly 7 miles of paved roadway lined with massive oak trees on either side of the road. Walk just a few hundred yards in and the landscape opens up into very large prairies of pines and palmettos.

So with camera in hand I made only a dozen or so panoramic mural size images in the five days that I stayed in this park. This was not my first rodeo here in this park as I have been camping here for the last 20 years. I generally stay in the Big Flats campground, one of three here. I also try to get site 10 or 11 as these two sites are right up against the woods where wildlife often wonder right up within 30 feet of my camper in the early morning or late afternoon hours. I have had many flocks of wild turkeys walk within 10 feet of my chair. So when I say this place is for the Nature Photographer...I mean it.

Many of the images in this next series are multi-images, sometimes up to 8 or 10 vertical images stitched together in PS CS6. I use a homegrown variety of pano head that I made for my Sony camera and Canon lenses that utilizes the Nodal Point of the lens, which is the location of the diaphragm inside of the lens, in which to pivot the lens on the tripod across the intended landscape image. The original file is 50 inches long.

Many of my Nature & Wildlife images are now available in beautiful canvas wrap prints as well as canvas prints in a natural wood floater frame.

I started this series with N0.8 as this is what I saw the day I was arriving to the campground. I knew I had to go back before I left to get this image. As soon as I got back to my truck the sky emptied all that rain.

Many of the images in this next series are multi-images, sometimes up to 8 or 10 vertical images stitched together in PS CS6. I use a homegrown variety of pano head that I made for my Sony camera and Canon lenses that utilizes the Nodal Point of the lens, which is the location of the diaphragm inside of the lens, in which to pivot the lens on the tripod across the intended landscape image. The original file is 60 inches long.
