LDH Energy in Pikeville, KY constructed by Appalachian Coal from Princeton, WV

Amazing image when you realize it is 8 images, but because of the harsh light, each image is photographed 3 times to capture the best highlights, shadows, and mid-tones.  Then these 3 are combined into one.  So there are 24 exposures in this panorama that is over 180 degrees!  The original measures 2 feet by 8 feet, and is over 1 GB. Where the road curves out of the picture on the right side, you can see men standing in the road!  Because of the triple exposure men and equipment could not be moving, and if the 100 foot lift I was in shook for one image, it would have ruined the shot!
