This video speaks so well about what it takes to get a really special picture. It makes me realize how much it truly takes to get there. Planning, experience with your gear, technical knowledge of what settings to shoot at, and probably a lot of luck with weather. Subbed!
As a camper myself (back when I had better knees) I’ve woken to the snow but never intentionally camped in the snow, great story, fantastic Pano. So worth the effort. Thanks for sharing.
I realize that this video is almost a year old, but this might be useful. Software that I have found critcal to planning photo trips is a free download called Stellarium. It will give you everything that the Photographer's Ephemeris does, but it also includes stars, planets and even satellites. Last spring, if the weather had of been better, I was planning to shoot the Milky Way from Bad Water Basin in Death Valley in the pre-dawn. At approximately 4:25am, the Hubble Space Telescope would have been right beside the Milky Way and the goal was to get the shot with the HST in the Milky Way image. Unfortunately, due to torrential rain, we couldn't get there and the road to Badwater Basin was closed the rest of the week.
Why you don’t have more subscribers is beyond me. Your videos are great! I really enjoy your channel. I was in Portland last Spring but didn’t get to see Mt. Hood, unfortunately. Your pano definitely makes me want to go back!
Luving your narrative approach; telling the story of how you came to take this image. It's both, interesting, informative and educational at the same time. Awesome!
The Photographer's Ephemeris has been a great aid for my daughter's upcoming outdoor sunset wedding. I have forwarded to my photographer to use to prepare for the shoot. Thanks for showing me how to use it!
Great story and a beautiful image. I am really enjoying this video series and appreciate all the time and effort that goes into producing these videos...thank you. Every time I watch one of your videos here or from On1 I learn something new and am inspired to go out and make some photos. You have an excellent teaching style.
Loved looking at Mt Hood almost everyday growing up on the farm from across the valley (Dayton, OR)...Makes for ok photos but kinda far away. Interested to see how it will look with my new 150-600mm. Now I get to see Baker and Rainier all the time.
Becareful out there - I slipped and fell off trail last Oct. in Shenandoah National Park. With 2 backcountry rangers with me and my family I had to hike out 2 and 1/2 miles down a rocky trail over 4 hours to a waiting ambulance. I had 8 multiple broken ribs, broken collar bone in 2 places, partially collapsed lung, laceration on my head, concussion, and vestibular problems. 4 days in ICU and 3 in regular. Not a fun or cheap experience!
Hudson, great video, as always. As a life-long Portlander, I've hiked the loop around Larch Mountain countless times, as well as hiked up the road during winter at least 10 times, and it really is an amazing spot -- too bad that access has been closed for more than a year now. I thought, however, that I should make one tiny correction to your video in case anyone tries to do a search for information about the top of Larch. The viewpoint area is not called Shepherd's Point, it's called Sherrard Point.
Enjoyed listening to your story. I particularly liked your illustration of usingTPE to determine when the image you envisioned would occur. I have used TPE a lot but not exactly in the way you did. So thanks!
Great story Hudson. I was wondering if, as a follow up to the subject of panorama photography, you might make a video or short course on what comes after. How you print panoramas what materials you may print on depending on how they are mounted and finally mounting. For instance, are they ever affixed to a wall directly and if so when. In other words, what is involved in the final display? Could be an interesting video for this blog or the ON1 site. Thanks, tom
Wow, Hudson! I just came across your Awesome and highly Inspirational video on your process of creating this incredibly beautiful pano of Mt. Hood! FANTASTIC image and backstory, sir!! I actually have a few decent images of Mt. Hood from Trillium Lake, taken with a tripod-mounted Fuji X-T2 several years back, but they pale in comparsion. (Though I did do a composite with my Danner Mountain 600 Hiking Boots for Danner.) Anyway, your excellent videos on the Nikon Z7 System has really got me very much interested in selling my Fuji X-System kit (now an X-T3), and moving to the Z7 with some of the super-sharp Nikkor S lenses. My question is, how much DRAM is needed (on a Mac) to adequately handle the large 46MP NEF files in Photoshop and/or Capture One? (My old 8MB iMac barely handles my X-T3 files, so I'm thinking it would choke on the much larger Nikon files.) Thanks again, Hudson! Regards, Steve
I LOVE the Z6 for that reason in most situations. You want more resolution, shoot a pano. :-) Yes, the bigger files take more processing power. It sort of led me to jump back to PC some months ago becuase the new Mac Pro was so overpriced... I have 64GB of RAM, Thunderbolt 3, and a ton of fast drive space...
This is probably the best photography video on TH-cam, great story, very inspirational, thank you for sharing Sir...
Thanks so much! That means a lot!

Thanks Doug. It's fun with the right gear. I grew up climbing in the Cascades, so it's in my blood. :)

I'll be there in Feb 2019 for work (suburbs of Portland) , but not sure I'll have time to get out and shoot. It would be nice if I do :-)

Loved the story behind this magnificent image. I'm really enjoying this series of Approaching the Scene. Thank you, Hudson for sharing
Great yarn and a fantastic image to go with it, well done again

Every great image has a great story, thank you for sharing. Keep these coming!!!
Great video.
Thanks so much!
Really nice video, man! The pano shot is insane ...WOW!

Love that story. Perseverance furthers...thanks
Great story, I have learned so much from you man! Keep the good videos coming.

I love your videos! Thank you so much for sharing! Can you do some videos about Street Photography? thanks again!
I'm making a note about street. Thank you so much.
Enjoyed listening to your story. I particularly liked your illustration of usingTPE to determine when the image you envisioned would occur. I have used TPE a lot but not exactly in the way you did. So thanks!
Great back story! I admired this image on your wall when I stayed with you.
It's Dope.
