Oh, go fly a kite!

Seems like a good thing to do when it's a brisk, windy spring morning in southern Alberta. And when you're avoiding the over 5000 images you just shot on vacation. Because, well, that's a lot of images to go through.

Waimea Canyon Panorama

This image is a composite of 36 separate shots (D700, Nikkor 16-35mm/f4 @ 35mm). The resulting PSD was 1.8 GB in size, over 23,000 x 9200 pixels in size. Crazy. My machine has 12 GB of RAM and one of Intel's best processors and was tied up for about 5 minutes processing the file. Haven't really put it through its paces since buying it... was fun to see what it could do.
