This is the cloud-shadowed mountains I posted in my picture taken 02-19-17 (Post #325).

This is the picture I took today with the new camera.

Much more shadowy. I believe they are the same mountains. The silhouette looks the same and these are the same mountains as the Layered mountains panorama. Look at the title of the enlarged picture to know in which direction they are.

@AH: I don't think I have enough outstanding pictures to post them in other venues. I certainly have not gotten any feedback about the pictures I have posted links to on Google Drive to know if there is enough interest in them to warrant disseminating them more widely.
@$IB: I suspect that a counter "No. of times viewed" could probably be the best guide - e.g., many people will not press a "Like" button or make a comment, or something, because of privacy concerns - it leaves some kind of tracking trail.

I left out one word in the post. It should have been "any feedback here about"

@IainB I have tried using the GPS location function, but the camera says it is "not available". I call them the eastern mountains because that distinguishes them from the mountains in the other directions from here. I have a limited selection of potential views because I don't have a car, so I just post them here. I don't think I have enough outstanding pictures to post them in other venues. I certainly have not gotten any feedback about the pictures I have posted links to on Google Drive to know if there is enough interest in them to warrant disseminating them more widely. I said they look different because they were taken with different cameras with different capabilities(and probably because of other factors).

... They look very different, don't they?
_______________________________
-Arizona Hot (February 13, 2017, 09:44 AM)
Um, yeah. At a guess, that's presumably because they are panoramas of the same range of hills, but showing different parts of that range in each shot - right? At first I thought they were back-to-front. It's a huge range. What's it's name?

-IainB (February 13, 2017, 01:06 PM)

No, they are different because they were taken in different years, different sun positions, with different cameras. I don't know what it is named.

This is the same hills taken with my new camera. They look very different, don't they?

Are there "Sister" printers to go with the "Brother" ones? If on the same home or business network, do they reproduce and should this be allowed or does it result in inbreeding?

Some of the reasons I got the new camera:
Post reference.jpg    DSC00012.JPG

The button on that camera that doesn't work and allows you to change the clock also allows you to see the pictures you have taken. I wanted a camera with which it was easier to take in-camera panoramas(above full-res) and which was less sensitive to high-contrast situations. This camera produces in-camera panoramas easily and you can also produce excellent multi-picture panoramas(below) using Microsoft ICE with it. If you want more than this, you will have to ask, it is 96 MB in size.

I have a "like new" new camera now. Some test shots are below.

I found picture #2 above also in the camera when I went to transfer my first picture to the computer. I don't know when or where it was taken, it has the default date and time.
