Azalea Gardens at Brighton Dam (Brookeville, MD)

Tags: garden , azalea; , azaleatrail

These gardens are located next to a water reservoir that serves the Washington, DC metropolitan area in Maryland. Someone had the foresight to plant hundreds of these shrubs back in the 1940's. Today they are a two week spectacle for all to enjoy.
I used an old Nikon Coolpix 5700 with telephoto lens attachment. It is a 5 Megapixel camera that gives an effective focal length of 270 MM when used with the telephoto lens. The reason I used this camera is that I can take bracketed shots for creating HDR photographs. I tried doing this but I was unhappy with the results. This photograph represents 65 photos.

Timothy, This is a remarkable panorama ... you may want to add azaleatrail to the tagline line... we can start up our own Azalea Trail here on gigapan.org. All it needs now to complete is for you to geocode it so that we can see it on a curved surface in Google Earth. Thanks, David

I also love this image and strongly recommend you geocode it. Search on HDR and tone mapping to see my efforts in this direction.
