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…. Canon EOS 40D / Sigma 10-20 EX DC HSM / Hoya ND8 filter / Manfrotto 724B digi 3 shot panorama / each shot exposed at -2,0,2 f/11 / HDR process & tonemapping: Photomatix Pro 3.2.1 / stitch: PTGui location: / 11°03.1687 E / 47°12.1673 N

Recent Work

Up the Creek by Andrew Murrell

During our visit to the Barrington region we stayed at the Barrington Retreat cabins. They are located just outside the Chiseter Dam. The creek runs past the Picnic viewing area and this little rapid with a small area of rainforest was there. The mossy rock and tree caught my eye and I wanted to catch a Pano of it showing the creek flowing past. This is a 2 image Pano shot with a Nikon D300 and the 18-200mm VR lens. A polariser and a 2 stop ND filter had the exposure time at 8 seconds at f16. The images were combined in CS3.

This was taken in Oklahoma at the Wichita Mountain Wild Life Refuge. This is Quanah Parker Lake. This is four images stitched together using Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. Other than that this is straight from the camera. This is my first attempt at creating a panorama. Taken using a Sony A350 / Settings: f22 10s ISO100 (same settings for all 4 shots) / Lens: SAL-1870 DT 18-70mm f3.5-5.6 Standard Zoom lens / Filter: UV filter / Camera White Balance settings: / Color Temp: 7100K; Color Filter: M5 A special thanks goes out to my fellow photographers in the Group Photography101 who gave their wonderful suggestions how to better my image. I did end up taking everyone’s suggestions and putting them to good use. This was the original image: / This is what it is now: / By applying their suggestions this image is now available about 2 inches larger in height than it was originally. That’s a great plus too!
