Mt St. Helens from Suavie Island near Portland Oregon. I took this with a Canon G9 and a 2x teleconverter on top of a Gigapan robot. I should have used RAW because of the contrast. What would have been better would have been a series of autobracketed exposures for this image. It much more practical to process the exposure enfuse / tufuse before you stitch the panorama. I ended up applying a curves layer. It took several trys. I also wish I had enlarged the panorama to include the other mountains such as Mt Hood. |

As Coldwater Creek erodes its banks, tree trunks buried by the 1980 eruption are exposed. |

This is a small version of a huge GigaPan I'm still waiting to stitch. |

This area was in the distal region of the Devastated Zone from the May 18, 1980 Mt. St. Helens blast. Note how below the road the forest regeneration is at a far more advanced stage than above the road. This is the result of tree plantings in the lower area by the timber companies that own the land. |

Just around the corner from where Gary Rosenquist snapped the famous series of photos of the beginning of the eruption of Mount St. Helens on the morning of May 18, 1980. This is near the edge of the blast zone; many trees were knocked down here but quite a few were still standing, albeit stripped of their branches. |

Devastation from the May 18, 1980 lateral blast from Mt. St. Helens is visible in this view from the Harmony parking area on the road to Windy Ridge. The northeast corner of Spirit Lake is visible in the distance. |
