Nothing serious, but during recovery I was not able to take any pictures. But yesterday I was given the ok to start moving around some, so I thought I'd try my hand at this weeks challenge, "Vertical Stitching". I couldn't go far from home to find a decent subject, so I just did the  best I could from my lawn and driveway. Predictably, the subjects were not very inspiring, but it was the technique that mattered and I  had fun doing it. More fun than normal probably due to the sheer relief  of finally getting out of that recliner! My first attempt yesterday was a sunrise shot from my front lawn. I decided to try doing it in panorama, god knows why, and as you might imagine it resulted in a very elongated photo:[ATTACH]349580[/ATTACH]So this morning when I got up it was snowing, and I thought I'd give it another go but in landscape. I imagined the snow would make for a good effect. Unfortunately by the time I managed to set up my camera and tripod, the snow changed to freezing rain. I purchased a weather hood for my D5500 though, and it worked great, but the effect of a snowy scene was lost. And since there was no visible sun through the clouds I decided to point the camera down the hill from our drive, rather than straight into the woods. My first series worked ok, and was certainly not as narrow, but I didn't like the composition. So I shot another with our little curving street giving a bit of a visual path. I processed it both as color and B&W. It was the B&W I chose to enter in the challenge, as I think it gives a more wintry feel. None of them were particularly great pics, but for what I had to work with I was satisfied. Each is a 5-shot stitch:[ATTACH]349583[/ATTACH].[ATTACH]349581[/ATTACH].[ATTACH]349582[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
