This is one of the few large panoramic photos I took while out at The Wave in Arizona. As some might recall I covered elements of my time at this location in my aptly titled EXIF and Beyond podcast Landscape Photography: The Wave.  This particular photo is a 22 image vertical image stitch with a net resolution equivalent to 300+ megapixels. Those that were with me when I took this panoramic thought I was a little nu
