This is a stitched-together panorama, made of six individual shots. Each of the sub-pictures was made with identical exposure settings, handheld, in vertical orientation (e.g., the long axis of the picture is vertical).
I've made quite a few such composite pictures; with modern tools (I use PhotoStitch, from Canon) it is both quite easy and gives very nice results. This particular tool has two independent methods for orienting pictures: an automatic mode (what I used here) that somehow finds the pieces in adjacent pictures that are overlapping, and a manual mode that lets you precisely identify the overlaps. Usually I use the manual mode, as the results are generally better. This time, I could not spot any obvious flaws from the automatic mode, so I left it alone.
The place is Clear Lake, in the San Juan mountains of southwest Colorado (see my post here). As usual, click on the photo for a larger view.
