Provo Canyon

Last weekend we were in Provo Canyon for a small family gathering. As usual it was hot, the kids were busy playing (running to and fro between playground equipment and the river bank), and I had the camera out trying to capture a few of the small joys of the afternoon.

Now being that we don't have a fan-tabulous new digi-SLR camera (please Santa bring me something nice), our little Canon Elph is the main go to camera and I can't say enough about how much bang for the buck it has given us over the couple of years we have had it.

Here's some pics of the kids:

Question: What do you get when you take 9 overlapping shots of the "big mountain" (as the kids would say) in front of you and mix in a little Adobe Photoshop?

Answer: "Flying High" - Unlike my "Majestic Color" panaromic from last fall, this sky is the original and can you spot the eagle? I didn't until I got them home and Photoshop stitched them together. Hint: look just right of center in the sky or individual #6, it's small but it's there. If you have the ability to zoom in somehow you'll see it better.

Yes, I did a little correction and extra color saturation to make things a little more vivid. You should be able to tell the difference from the individual shots and final. I can't wait to get this one printed out! Looks good on 11" paper, but as panoramic print from Costco it will look even better.
