River Photomerges

My family has had a place at the Rappahannock River for over 30 years, but last year the campground we went to was closed for good. I thought I should capture our view of the river to remember it by. Both images are photomerges which make up an 180 degree view of the river. The sunset version was taken from a bluff that overlooks the water and the day version was taken from water level on the beach. Enjoy! (If you click on these, be warned they are very big, width wise.)

This was made up of about 4-5 different photos. I really like it because it shows all the boats that belong to my relatives and the boat the furthest on the left (My brother's) had to be photoshoped in later because he was taking his boat on the last ride of the summer- you can see him in there covering his boat too, my family got a kick out of that!

This one was made up of about 12 different photos. I love how it shows how long the river is and the beach of the campground is visible there, as well. I would have liked to have everyone's boat in there too, but they had all gone to spend the day at the sandbar. I was disappointed to find out after I had finished that this one is pretty impossible to print, given its size. I figured it up and to print it at a height of 3 inches it would have a width of several feet, ahhhh very disappointing :(. Oh well, it will live forever digitally!!!
-On a side note, I am able to print the sunset version :)
