Some friends and I would make the pilgrimage every year to Moab, Utah for the Fat Tyre Festival which took place at the end of October we would spend a week or more riding our Mt Bikes and getting in a hike or two; the Amasa Back was one of my favorites to ride it’s a tough ride out to the end and back but the views are awesome, 360 degrees of some of the most amazing geological real estate to be seen; one of the few places that I’ve ever been to where you can see the Earth’s curvature including a mountain range, you can see this in the picture above of the La Sal range in the background.
These photos (3) were taken on the Amasa Back in 1991 with my Pentax ME Super. A 50mm f/2.8 lens and Kodak Gold 100 print film was used to capture this picture. Scanning the negatives with my Canon 9950 F scanner into 16 bit tiff files then processing them in Camera Raw and then merging them into a panoramic using Photoshop’s photo merge, it did a good job but not good enough I had to manually do some editing, the final print size is a 6300x1650 or 21”x5.5” at 300 resolution.
