Denali with Lenticular Cloud
Aug. 8, 2017, 7:20 AM. God blessed us with a 4th day where Denali was fully visible. We arrived about 50 minutes after sunrise and long shadows of the peaks to the east crossed the valley below Stony Pass. A Lenticular cloud hovers over Mt. Denali like an alien UFO. Wind swept snow is visible in plumes off of the higher peaks.

This panorama consists of 50 individual 42 mega-pixel images shot with Sony a7Rii at f/16, 1/30th second exposure time and ISO 50 using a 400mm focal length on Canon 70-200 zoom lens & 2x converter. The final cropped image is 5 ft x 16 ft..

The image as shown is: 1.122 Gigapixels, 18,064 x62,119 pixels, 60" x 207" 300 ppi original image size.
