Montana Views

[Dale D]

On Thursday, we drove 2 hours southward from Big Sky,MT. , past Yellowstone, to the Montana/Idaho border. The states are separated at this point by the beautiful Centennial Mountain Range, pictured here in regular, and panoramic views from the air (Mavic 2 Pro drone). The valley is a vast open space of thousands of acres, mostly privately owned huge ranches and ranch houses.

Running through this valley is the Red Rock River, where we spent the day fly fishing. (I am happy to report catching several brook trout, a rainbow trout, and a whitefish-all released back to the river).

A final image shows the beautiful canyon road, route 191 running north/south from Bozeman to Yellowstone, following the course of the spectacularly beautiful Gallatin River. Shown in this aerial view is “House Rock”. This is a considerable danger and risk to the hundreds of kayakers and rafters that run this river in 3-4 large commercial groups every day.

The final picture is the Red Rock River that we walked and waded (fishing waders). You need to click separately on the two panoramas to open them.

Hope you enjoy.

Always enjoy your work. BTW, I'm an old Missoula boy. Lived there from 1949-'52. My dad was a postal inspector in those days, and we moved around a lot.

thanks for the kind words. So many good images to send. I have to curb myself from overloading the forum.

I appreciate your viewing my work and your kind words. I am having great fun stitching 3-6 images together into pano. Much better faulty, in my opinion, than letting the drone do it for me. I am frustrated by not being able to shoot vertical images, which would make may panos better. Do you have any idea howe to shoot vertical images?

You´r welcome Dale I never did a panoramic photo, I am rather a movie maker! I think that with a drone there is no way to shoot vertical images. It could be an option to fix a Hero7 vertically underneath the drone!

Many thanks,Dave. Always nice to be appreciated. Photography is hard work! Many hours preparing, hiking, processing, computer work, etc. Photography in my retirement from ophthalmic surgeon is a lifesaver.

I'll be here in Big Sky a few more weeks so more to come, I hope.

Here is one more of the Ted Turner Flying D-Ranch- sunset-panorama-116,000 acres of the most beautiful country you will ever want to see.

As always, lovely stuff! Hope to make it up that way some time for photos. I shoot with my MPP but love doing landscape with my DSLR- looks the place to be.
