Featured Work

Turquoise at Tidal River by Allan Savage

The view at midday from Mt Oberon, on Wilson’s Promontory. One hour solid uphill, but well worth the effort. This panorama, and more, greets you at the top, with views to both sides of the Prom. Just spectacular. The campsite at Tidal River is visible in the middle distance, with row upon row of beautiful regular swells marching in to the beach, together with a rip visible in the middle of the beach. Squeaky Beach is the next one beyond (and then Whisky Bay?). This panorama is from 5 images. Only light work in PS – this is as near as I can remember it to the colour at the time. Canon EOS30D, ISO100, EF28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 @ 28mm, F16, 1/20, CPL filter.

Like a winding snake by Stefan Trenker

another panorama shot from one of my tours above Kühtai (2.020m), Tirol, Austria. This shot was taken on my way from the Dreiseenhütte (three lakes hut) to the water reservoir Finstertal. / Down below you can see part of the village of Kühtai and on the opposite side you can make out the Pirchkogel (2.826) and the Hochalter (2.678m). to the left you can see the 149m high stone-wall that holds back the Finstertal reservoir. some of you might think that there’s a stitching error – where the stone-wall passes into the green brush rather sharply. i had to look twice myself and i even went back to the Kühtai, just to make sure, but it really looks like this. / within one to two meters the stone-wall fades into the natural face of the mountain again – looks pretty cool.

Blue Mesa Reservoir by dzf1z1

This panoramic was not taken at a national park, state park, or even a public attraction. Welcome to Colorado. The wife and I were traveling toward the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. Those pictures have not been posted yet. I think the wife spent more time watching to make sure I kept my eyes on the road than she did looking at the views. Every once in a while I would get smacked for looking out the side windows instead of straight in front of the car. This was merely a view out the car window while travelling to the park. It is somewhat near a city called Sapinero. The water in the picture is the Blue Mesa Reservoir. The name of the cliffs are currently unknown to me. The view was free. / / It was absolutely stunning to be standing there and taking this site in. If you want a scale of size, if you look very closely at the water you can spot a single sailboat. (Since posting this picture and looking at it in the public view, the sailboat is nothing more than pixel on the screen. One can’t even spot it without being able to zoom in. Oh well.) Tripod / Nikon D300 / Lens: 18-200mm (VR on – Windy) / ISO: 200 / Aperture: F/5.6 / Focal Length: 65mm ( all 3 pictures of panoramic – manual focus to achieve this) / Shutter Speed: 5 exposure HDR ranging from 1/640s to 1/80s for all 3 pictures that make up this panoramic. / Gitzo 3-way pan/tilt head / Both tripod and 3-way pan/tilt head completely leveled prior to HDR panoramic pictures being taken. / White Balance: Taken in Raw with automatic; but switched to cloudy to knock down some of the blue in the haze. Tools Used: / Photomatix Version 3.2.3 – HDR Processing – Close to natural setting / Roxio Easy Media Creator 10 Suite – 3 picture stitching / Corel’s Paint Shop Pro Ultimate X2 – Brightness, Levels, Curves, and Sharpening / Noise Ninja Version 2.0 – Noise reduction

up in the skies by Stefan Trenker

cycling season is over for me, so there’s more time to head up into the mountains and enjoy the Austrian landscape… so I went for a hike yesterday in the area around Kühtai (Tirol’s highest village at 2.020m) and headed up towards Gaiskogel (2.820m). / it’s not really a hard climb, the first 500m up are fairly easy as the lead along a skiing-slope. only the last part is getting a bit more strenuous, as one has to climb up a steep boulder field. this brings you to the so called Gaiskogelscharte (2.658m) and from there it’s a short way to the Gaiskogel itself. anyway, this pano was taken pretty much halfway between Gaiskogelscharte and Gaiskogel at approx. 2.720m. straight ahead you can see the Rotkogel and the Räuhengrat and looking to the left one can see the Kraspesferner (small glacier) with the Rotgrubenspitze (3.042m). as I was carrying quite some equipment and it was already getting late, I decided to turn around at this point and not continue to the top (appr. another 25min), but instead take a small detour to a reservoir and take some photos there as well….

Mt Mackay by Travis Easton

In July 2007 I did my first ever snow shoe walk. A trip from Falls Creek out past Pretty Valley to Tawonga Huts and the Niggerheads then over Mt Fainter and down to Bogong Village. The downhills aren’t as fun as my crossies but the uphill and flats are a dream much easier manoeuvrability for photography too. Great trip had some good weather and some bad -the following day was a whiteout. This shot was taken just near the summit of Mt Niggerhead looking towards Mt Mackay which borders the Falls Creek ski resort. To check out other mountain photographs see my Mountains gallery. 10% of all profits go to the Wilderness Society

The View by Richard Heath

This is the 360 degree panorama I was hoping to get from the summit of Island Peak or Imja Tse. I can’t believe how small Ama Dablam looks from up here (6814m, at the centre). Mighty Makalu (8462m) rises above the ridge at the left, and the confluence of the Lhotse Shar, Amphu Laptse, and Imja Glaciers and the Imja Tso glacial lake can be seen below Lapste to the left of the main Island Peak (Imja Tse) ridge in the middle. In the distance just beyond the Island Peak ridge is the rest of the Imja Drengka valley and the villages of Chukhung and Dingboche. To the right of the valley the stunning peaks of Tawoche and Arakamptse stand tall above the glacial flows of the Nuptse, Lhotse Nup and Lhotse Glacier. These glaciers slowly flow from the snow and ice that falls on the giant Nuptse-Lhotse Wall, with the peak of Lhotse, the 4th highest mountain on Earth rising to an incredible 8516m at the right. The distance in altitude from the summit of Island Peak and the top of Lhotse is more than 2300m, which means you could slide the whole of Australia at its highest point, horizontally, between the two summits with room to move. Australia is indeed flat, and these mountains are indeed the largest in the world… what a privilege to have been here. The panorama is a composite of 18 photos taken with a Canon 400D using a 17-85mm IS USM lens with circular polarising filter. Featured in “Panoramas”
