Isham Cemetery in the Golden Hour
Toolbox: AutoStitch
Texas photographers joke that our Golden Hour — the time before and after sunset (or sunrise) is really the Golden 12 Minutes. Luck had me at the cemetery at that perfect time of day when the shadows were long and the setting sun cast a beautiful golden wash over the North Texas winter landscape.

"Isham Cemetery with a Dusting of Snow"
Toolbox: AutoStitch, AutoAdjust, MonoPhix
Ten minutes from downtown sits our neighborhood on the east side of Fort Worth. It’s one of the areas of the DFW Metroplex that still has a somewhat rural feel. On the weekends, you often see people riding their horses down the medians on John T. White Road. When I first moved to this area back in the mid-1990’s, it was still a mail rural route.
There’s an old cemetery across from a woodframe church near some new housing subdivisions. I’ve only seen evidence of one funeral there in the years I’ve lived here.
Today, we had our third snow of the season — freakishly winter-like for an area that should be sunny and in the 60’s this time of year. Driving past old Isham Cemetery, the gray sky and the light dusting of the snow over the open field of the old cemetery made it feel like winter.

AutoStitch
AutoStitch Panorama by Cloudburst Research has been updated to version 2.0. I really thought the last version, 1.1.2 was great and the new version brings speed improvements, high-resolution stitching and high resolution preview/cropping.
AutoStitch combines from 2 to 20 or more images and can create seamless (or nearly seamless) panoramas on your iPhone. This is cool in itself, especially for getting the really big shots.
