River of ice

Another pieces of giant sculpture is being created by ice and gravity.

The scale of project is awe inspiring as well as the process itself.

this was a difficult panorama stitched from several shots captured

from a low-flying twin-engine plane over the south side of Denali. Enjoy!

really impressive. how did you manage to stitch together multiple shots taken from an airplane? was your perspective not changing constantly? however you did it, it looks quite seamless.

Hi Anish,

yes, indeed, due to low-altitude, relative speed of the plane,and interval of successive shots the perspective is different in each. Unfortunately, the angle of view from inside a plane is quite limited; hence, although you can get panoramas like this one by using cameras off-plane, you have to wait the plane move far enough, hopefully along the same line, in order to capture a new frame.

The extreme case of this kind of stitching is very advanced. All satellite based imaging uses essentially this method but looking straight down which makes the stitching easier.

Any case, I probably spent 4hrs stitching these images, each witch slightly different perspective. The result is a close representation of the reality but the exact representation. cheers
