A clearing spring storm in the Mojave Desert near Essex, California.

It's a wide panorama, not a crop. The full resolution image is **here** if you'd like to see it. Be patient while it loads-- it's a big file. On reflection I think I shouldn't have sharpened it for printing-- at 300 dpi it would be almost seven feet long. I don't think I'm going to print it anytime soon, lol.

Now I really wish I'd done two rows though, to bring that foreground right up to the camera. To make matters worse, I neglected to level the tripod and just kinda eyeballed the frame, so I had to level it up in post-processing by cropping out more of the foreground. Next time!

I'm pretty sure this was captured with a Nikon D7200. The lens was a Tokino AT-X Pro 12-28 mm f4 DX, shot at about 15 mm. I love that lens. There were eight or nine vertical frames IIRC. This was probably one of the last landscapes I shot with the D7200. It lives on my focus rail now.

edit: Yep, it was the D7200. It's been a workhorse for me.
