Description As much as I love Mt. Hood, it's high time I started stalking another volcano. And what better subject to move on to than Mt. St. Helens? This is my first panoramic, composited from almost 100 shots taken from the railing of Johnston Ridge Observatory. While I usually avoid stark midday sunlight at all costs, I can't help but notice how well it works for lighting the details of St. Helen's eruption-blasted landscape. Looking forward to experimenting with different viewpoints, lighting and weather.

A selection from my VIEWS of the Pacific Northwest project, dedicated to capturing sweeping panoramic views from around the area and turning them into high-resolution panoramic wallpapers.

The mountain looks obviouvsly destroyed, and the story behind that is scary.

what kind of lens do you use? and do you just use lightroom or photoshop to stitch the photos? because i was trying this with an 85mm and sometimes lightroom or photoshop cant stitch the images. rather frustrating. lol amazing work though!

Usually shoot with either 100mm or a 150-500mm zoom lens. Check out my process here: vimeo.com/190422292

It's surprising how desolate the mountain still looks 35 years after the eruption.

Wow! Looks almost alien, like something from the Mars Rover.

It's been scheduled since January. USGS likes to have these things planned out (especially after what happened last time -- someone dropped the ball).
