In the early 1820's new arrivals traveling from Galveston to San Antonio commented in their journals about the landscape they passed through: no trees and monotonous prairie day after day with grass as high as a horse's belly.I shot this six-image, CS4 photomerged panorama this morning of some of the only virgin prairie left in Texas at the University of Houston Coastal Center, located between Galveston and Houston. The trees on the horizon are invasive Chinese Tallow trees.
The component images were shot handheld in available light at an effective focal length of 24 mm, using manual exposure, set at f/11, ISO 100, and underexposed by 2/3 stop for 1/160 sec.
