North Windows panorama, spring of 2016

            I've sat on this 3-row panorama sufficiently long (almost a year and a half), so I decided to go ahead and process it and post it. 

I'm probably no different than many modern landscape photographers, in that I have a huge backlog of unprocessed photos. I'm trying to get through a few of those this summer, so bear with me.

For me, the best part of (astro)landscape photography is actually getting out and shooting the photos: I love it. It's both exciting and challenging. I also kind of like planning out my shoots, although that's not nearly as fun as shooting itself. And then there's the post processing, which can be fun at times, although it can often be a little boring, especially when I'm working with these gigantic panorama files and my desktop grinds to a halt.

But I derive very little satisfaction from having unfinished photos on my desktop and believe that a big part of being creative is at least attempting to get eyeballs on my work via sharing. I know not every photographer or creative individual will agree with me; I've witnessed some extremely talented artists do great work with virtually no audience. And some artists are okay with that...but others obviously remain unfulfilled with their work and their creative life, which is how I would be if I couldn't put it out there in the world. And thanks to the Internet, that's easier than ever. 

So anyway, no matter your reaction, thanks for giving this thing a look!
