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.

Hiking out at 2AM on this day afforded some benefits. Walking around in the dark for so long when the sun came up it was as though a curtain were raised unveiling something magical.
