Mike, you continue to show your mastery of achieving quality reflections in many of your images. I was intrigued by your comment on the 35mm gear used. Do you think that you would be able to achieve the same level of quality by cropping your full frame D800 digital images or would you have to get into stitching?

Guess I'm just "old school." I've lived up here since 1951, so some stuff is just ingrained in me. Call me an "old fart," I suppose.
We got to be about the same age, in 1954 I was a nozzleman working for the Yukon Consolidated Gold Corporation on the Klondike, that was when I fell in love with the far north.

Thank you very much Bob, glad that you liked them. None of these were stitched, I wouldn't even know how. Some were cropped to size and others were scanned from Fujichrome, I used a 35mm panoramic camera which took 36x72 mm. images.
Superb photos. Not stitching has distinct advantages, although there's some good software for same.
I prefer to shoot a single pano, and have been a fan of 6X12 and 6X17 on roll film, but the equipment pushes $3500 to $5000.
I shoot 6X12 in a Dayi back on a 4X5.
However have been intriqued by using 35mm film. Have been working on installing a 35mm conversion in a Mamiya RB67 back, which would allow me a frame size of 24mm x 75mm, proportional to 6X17 in 120 Roll film. With a 50mm lens, that should give some good pano shots.
your shots are great. Interested to hear your use of the 35mm pano, but how are you getting 36mm x 72mm? Is this a readily available camera, or modified on some way?

Thank you very much Gene, glad you liked them. the Denali shot was pure luck, I got snowed in coming from Fairbanks so I stayed in Healy overnight. It cleared up over night and you can see the fresh snow on the mountain.

Thank you very much for commenting. I had a Hasselblad X Pan a 35mm camera that can be switched to 72x36 but also could be used single frame. The camera was made by Fuji and marketed by Hasselblad as the Hasselblad XPan. it was a very unique camera like when loading the film it would wind the film all the way out and that way the exposed film would end up in the cartridge after every shot. It had three exchangeable lenses I had the tele and the normal, the wide angle was super expensive and came with a center filter. Like a fool I sold it after I switched to Digital, but I got more than I paid for new. There might be some reference on google. Forty years ago I bought military torpedo camera which were mounted for surveillance on planes it used 120 film and made a 6x17 negative. I converted the back so I could wind the film by hand and I mounted a 5x7 view camera lens in a shutter and used that worked great but only on infinity. The 6x17 Linhof's cost an arm and a leg now, I saw a Fuji 6x17 with the filter going for $1800 that's not bad.
