About the Image(s)

We have had rain and snow in our Northern California area, and at the end of February it snowed long enough to get a lot of it accumulated on Mt. Diablo, here in Walnut Creek. Most of the time, there was fog covering the mountain but I was lucky enough to get this shot at a mid-day, from an overlook not 3 minutes away from my condo. The valley between where I'm standing and the foothills is all part of Rossmoor, where we live. We are fortunate to live in a 'city' that's so close to much of nature.

This is taken with my iPhone 14; I got other shots with my Olympus mirrorless and learned that the stitching function in the Olympus OEM is almost as easy as taking a pano with the iPhone. But I'll not show the OEM stitching this time because I have not post processed them to my satisfaction yet.

I purposely did not do any editing to this pano because I was quite happy to see that the natural light highlighted what was most of interest and while I will go back and play with fine-tuning this later, I'm also interested in the suggestions that might be made by my Group 55 colleagues - they are more adept than I am and no doubt will have excellent suggestions for me to keep learning about. And that will help inform what I do with the Olympus stack of images! Thank you ... /zina
