I found the Monument Valley and Bryce Canyon panos well exposed. But I
think the Ben More and Coigach pano (auto mode?) is overexposed and the
foreground saturation too high. Maybe trying to compensate for a lack
of saturation due to overexposure?
Of course, the problem may be post processing and not due to auto
exposure. I had forgotten this thread but do intend to make identical
pano shots in AP mode and manual mode in order to do a direct comparison.
And when you finally get back to the Grand Canyon (sans snow) do go to
the north rim. The approach to the rim is especially beautiful in the
fall with a strong contrast between the yellow leaves of the aspens and
the dark green of the Ponderosa pines.
