Description

This panorama was taken from the west end of Tortuga Bay, looking east. Zoom lens set at 300mm (35mm equivalent is 480mm). Haze and sea spray limited visibility somewhat. A very difficult exposure, so shot using aperture priority. Still, lots of ajustments in post-processing. The lava rocks are overexposed to make the Marine Iguanas and Sally Lightfoot crabs easier to see. Compare to the version taken with the lens at 100mm.

This is part of an effort to evaluate the use of high-resolution panoramic photography (HRPP) for environmental monitoring in Galapagos. This work was partially funded by Galapagos Conservancy (galapagos.org Will open in a new tab or window) and is part of the GigaPan Education and Research Program.
