panorama
After struggling for a few days, I've figured out how to use hugin, and have created 6 panoramas from the pictures that I took on our vacation trip.
The first panorama was taken at the 'desert view' lookout point at the
eastern edge of the south rim of the grand canyon just after sunrise
(the body of water in the center is the Colorado River).
The 2nd panorama was taken from Lipan Point in the grand canyon.
The 3rd panorama was taken overlooking Navajo Point.
The 4th panorama was taken at Red Rock Canyon 20 miles outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. A huge wildfire had swept through a few weeks earlier, which is what created all the black Joshua Tree stumps.
The 5th panorama was taken looking over a 90 degree slice of horizon
from north to east at the visitor's center of Wupatki National Monument. The mesa's and buttes on the distant horizon are the western edge of Arizona's Painted Desert. Towards the extreme right of the picture on the horizon are two tall buttes (one is named Montezuma's Chair), which are nearly 60 miles away.
The 6th panorama was taken from the top of Doney Mountain in Wupatki
National Monument, and is a 360 degree view. The mountains in the
distant horizon on the left end of the picture are the San Francisco
mountains, which rise to over 12500 feet, and are approximately 45 miles away.
