Legally Bland

Back in May I purchased a new fisheye lens and a new pano head so that I could shoot higher quality panos than those I got with my last camera. Nearly four months have passed, and I’ve finally gotten a chance to start working on some of these new images. This is my first decent image with the new camera/lens/rig/software, so it took a while to get it all working smoothly. You can see the full-res image on Flickr, and an interactive version here.

This was shot in Manistee, Michigan on the shore of Lake Michigan (right about here). It’s a bit melancholy for me, as it was taken on what surely will have been our last visit there. We spent a few holidays there during the Winter, but not nearly enough time in the warmer months. My mom and sisters live in Delaware now, so there’s very little drawing me back to this tiny coastal town, and I’ll actually miss it.

In other news: I’m incredibly tired, and yet this is the only time of night/day that I can get these sorts of things done, so I blog at 1:30 in the am. I’m going to go check to see if there are any bats in my basement then I’m off to bed. Cheers.
