I always shoot in RAW format (far more dynamic range and editing ability) and use ACR/Photoshop to process in post. Stitching software is MUCH better than it used to be and I've had excellent results taking handheld panos in non-low light situations. For sunrises/sunsets your really need to be on a tripod for optimal results. I've been doing this for a few years and tend to be a "learn by failing" photographer. Believe me, I have failed in epic fashion many times—but I've become better because of those experiences. I have a similar approach with acoustic guitar. Hope this helps!

[QUOTE=valleyguy;6284127]Speaking of pano, this is a shot I did with my iPhone. I took my LUMIX GX8 to Monument Valley and on the second day my normal lens froze, would not focus. Luckily, I had taken what I thought was enough pictures. But, right before we left there was a great set of clouds that came through, the iPhone was all I had to take this shot from our balcony on the View hotel.

Ever do HDR panos? Those can come out pretty cool. There's a trick for those with RAW files. Just adjust all the photos to the same settings and change the stops by adjusting the exposure on each RAW by a couple EV and then save the JPGs separately. Then make a few separate panos at different exposures and then HDR blend them and adjust. Take a load of time, but I think they come out cool and different.

I mostly just take photos of my kids these days. Well, I did till just recently. I actually sold my camera to fund my Hummingbird a couple of months back. I may get another at some point, but I'm kinda 'off' photography at the moment

Thanks! I used to run a photography studio so most of my portrait work was in studio, not natural light. But I've had enough photography to last me a good while. Taught me never to turn a hobby into a full-time job lol
These were character / concept shots for a science fiction film that was at the funding stage:

I almost always bracket my shots during sunrise/sunset shoots. The more recent versions of Adobe Camera Raw (or Lightroom) makes combining exposures far easier and more efficient than just a couple of years ago. The beauty of the newer versions is being able to combine the RAW files to create a RAW composite—thus preserving the maximum amount of non-destructive information for editing. My goal when blending exposures is to try my best to recreate what my eyes could see at the scene, but the camera (far inferior dynamic range than the human eye) is unable capture in a single exposure. Others use HDR to create surreal images, which can be very cool when done tastefully.

Speaking of Utah, I cannot believe that people walk along the ridge over to "Angel's Landing." For me, not in a million years!

Our trip last September (perfect weather, by the way, warm) included, Zion, Moab, Arches, Monument Valley and Kanab/Page. There is much more I would have wanted to see, though. It's a photographers dream. If you can swing it, stay at Red Cliff Lodge on the Colorado river, just east of Moab on 128, I highly recommend it. Even worth it just for the drive out there. Close drive to Arches and Moab.
