Last night I hiked to the best overlook in the San Juans, a short but steep off trail tramp that very few people have been to. The solidarity of this location is indescribable, I ran across some hunters on the way up (good thing I had my blaze orange vest on!), but they were quickly forgotten as I climbed higher and higher. I knew I was in for a treat as the clouds started changing color and magical warm light poured onto the Cimmarons. I kept my load as light as possible, only a Fuji XT-1 with a 18-55 and a Sirui T-025X tripod, all packed into a Mindshift Trail, I could barely tell I was carrying gear! This is a 2 row pano of 25 images, single exposures! That's right, the Fuji has very good dynamic range, I pulled the shadows in Lightroom with no noticeable noise added, this camera is legit.
