Did you spot the industrial area in the distance around the centre of the frame, it's Port Kembla, I'm sure you would really identify with the place :-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Kembla I used Hugin to stitch with Enblend for blending, the control points were set automatically then manually trimmed/purged/added (much as Cory described in the recent how to Pano thread) > No probs with that but the download is painfully slow for a mere 2 MB.

Thanks Brian, A great part of the world it is, always green for Oz and still so laid back given its proximity to the "big smoke". The DS will do a wonderful job just like my *ist D still does. I hope you have a great trip, are you heading inland (Kangaroo Valley/the Monaro) or just down the coast?

Or should I say capture? Thanks, image, capture, photo etc it's irrelevant so long as it serves the purpose.

I resolve to be resolute in my decisions to deliver images of maximum resolution :-) On 03/05/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I wish I could view it smaller, like with minimal scrolling.

Thanks for commenting in any case, maybe I should have labeled it an extreme-photo :-) On 03/05/07, William Robb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Cool, I could make a 3" tall print from that....... > Exciting!!!

I must admit we have it pretty good here, the city is like any other big city, noisy crowded, built up, angry, however drive for 1.5hrs up or down the coast and these are the types of scenes you'll find.

Thanks Tom, did you also notice the surfers (dots in the water) and the hundreds of gull on the sandbar? :-) On 03/05/07, Bob Sullivan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Rob, > Air Football? > Picture looks good to me. > The waves work and the kaiakers too. Thanks Bob, Air Football is a bit like Air Guitar, lots of action but with a pretend instrument. On 03/05/07, frank theriault <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Gorgeous! Thanks Frank, from my observations you're generally not a huge landscape fan, I'm glad that you found this shot of interest. On 03/05/07, Bob W <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Looks like a nice place.

Thanks Bob, I think that images gain another dimension when they are that resolute, you can look and appreciate them as a whole then you can drill down and con on a little personal trip of exploration. I would have liked to have produced the image with a wider vertical angle of view too however it was just too difficult to shoot vertical or more shots given the constraints at the time. I may revisit it with a proper set up though the light was perfect for it that day. Incidentally we took the Portsmouth in-laws down there when they came over to visit and they fell in love with the place, even started looking at real estate on line until they came to their senses. :-) On 03/05/07, Russell Kerstetter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > very beautiful Rob!
