So I spent some time this weekend and stitched together 3 different panoramas of Mount Saint Helens. The first is from a lookout on the side of the road on the way to the Coldwater Ridge Visitor Center. The other two are from the newest visitor center at Johnston Ridge (amazing views can be had from here!).
The second panorama was taken with a polarizing filter. While this yields much better color saturation, the stitch program has a hard time resolving the different exposures of each of the different shots.
Warning, the panoramas are large and take awhile to download, but they are definately worth it for those of you who have high bandwidth internet connections.

NOTE: Nice view of Mount Adams over the horizon in this one.
Johnston Ridge Lookout – 534kbytes
NOTE: A higher resolution, and one can see the viewing platform below the location where I setup my tripod.
Johnston Ridge Lookout w/polarization – 217kbytes
NOTE: The nice thing about this shot is that the moon was rising and is fairly visible near Mount Adams behind the ridge.
