Yosemite Valley - Panorama
With a subject as beautiful as Yosemite Valley; A photographer can be pretty unskilled and under-funded and still take an amazing picture.
Location
The original set was taken from the overlook at the tunnel. It faces El Capitan and Cathedral Peak.

From that vantage point listed above I staged the camera on the tripod and took several portraits as close to combined as possible.
Panorama Stitching
I stitched everything together with Hugin which actually did very well. I will do another post just for that a little later.
