A few weeks ago, my dad & I took an early morning hike at Rancho San Antonio. After a good hour of hike, we got up to an open meadow with a great vast view of the entire bay area. We saw buildings from downtown San Francisco, the bay, the east bay hills. I managed to take some panoramic shots of the valley. I didn’t do a good job of keeping the metering constant across the photos so the stitching wasn’t as smooth as I wanted, but it’s still pretty cool. I’ll try again next time.

There were many signs from nature that spring is coming– greenery was everywhere and flower buds ready to bloom. I’m looking forward to do more hikes and take more photos.

By the way, when viewing individual photos, you should see “View Panorama” command link for each panaramic photo. Clicking it will launch an applet for viewing panorama, which allows for panning left & right– simple but pretty cool.
