Picture of the Week – New feature at the West Juneau Website

Picture of the Week – New feature at the West Juneau Website, updated every Wednesday.

Now that I have a digital camera I can take pictures more readily and “publish” them with less trouble. In place of the picture of my faithful equipment maintenance technician  I have now decided to replace it with a new picture every week.

Winter Panorama – Juneau, Alaska

Winter Panorama of Juneau, Alaska – February 4, 2005

I created this panorama today using the photomerge feature of Adobe Photoshop Elements from 3 photographs by O. Richard (Dick) Kent using a Sony Mavica MVC-CD1000 Digital Camera. I had to adjust the center part of the picture and the sky to have consistent exposure.
