June 23, 2021, 6:30am. The Avenue of Flags commemorates all 50 states and the US Territories. I had seen several shots from this location with the flags and had always thought it would make a great Gigapixel image if one could be there at a time with few people and no wind. This particular morning I was waiting at the gate at 5am when they opened the gate. I first shoot a sunrise panorama at the far end of the avenue. As I was packing up to leave I noticed that there was almost no breeze and very few people. I quickly sat my camera rig up at a location I could capture the entire avenue. I had to take several pauses during the shooting to wait for people to get out of my frame or an occasional breeze that would set the flags to waving. A total of 767 images went into creating 90 focus stacked images that were then stitched to create the final 2,607 megapixel panorama.

Shoot with Canon R5, f/14, 1/10th sec., ISO 125 using Canon 300mm lens.
