The Story Behind This Photo - St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands

This post is the first in a new series I am starting. If I can remember a story that goes with one of my pics, I will post it here.

I was visiting Paradise Point in St. Thomas and I had my 50mm lens on my camera. That was the only lens I had with me. My camera has an APS-C sensor so, with the crop factor, it is the focal length of 75mm compared to a full frame camera. This is a very narrow view and would have only captured a small part of this scene. I really wanted to capture the entire view that I was seeing so I took ten vertical shots, slightly moving the camera to the right each time, and then later that evening, I stitched them together in Photoshop. The cruise ship I was working on at the time is in the bottom left part of the photo.

If you go to St. Thomas, you need to take the cable car up to Paradise point. The view is spectacular. Unfortunately, it is temporarily closed due to Covid-19. If you want to know more about it, here is the link to their website. https://www.paradisepointvi.com/about/
