Much delayed, it seems I have managed to complete all of the editing for the Washington hike photos in time to get everything sent out for the holidays. There were 471 total exposures (about a hundred less than I thought, when I first started editing, but I'd forgotten that my shoot rate tapered off towards the end of the trip), out of which I produced 274 final edited images. This number is deceptively low this pass; it doesn't take into account that there were lots of stitched images that condensed down into individual panoramas. Although the total number of resulting panoramas is still well into the single digits, their preparation took a surprising bulk of the time. Even using PTGUI, getting a pano just right could take an entire day.

I won't have an exact count on the number hitting the Scenes gallery until tomorrow, when I get everything uploaded and copies burned off, but from my initial pass, it looks like it's going to be 15 images, which makes me happy. When the full set of images get posted, they will show up in galleries here.

Once that's done, I'll probably start writing again, though probably personal matters before politics for a bit.
