Yeah, it was crisp but contrary to the weather reports pre-dawn was actually a lovely clear day. Your gallery captured the another aspect of the traditional ANZAC day, it's a strange day really, it's both celebratory and sombre. When I was with 2CH years ago I attended many Dawn services at the Cenotaph and had the very best of views being on the "inside" as such, I did take pics over the years there but not near as many as I wish I had now.

Hi Stan, it was a bit of both, best unimpeded view, light where I wanted it and all the elements I wanted in the single overall composition.

Cheers, Christine Thanks Christine, it's difficult not to be very pleased with the final image :) On 26 April 2013 23:45, Daniel J.

Thanks Dan, the image was only assembled from in camera 2MP jpgs and the detail is stunning, I will when I get time repeat the process using optimized RAW files, it should be pretty impressive.

Thanks Don, I was inspired to shoot an industrial night scene after viewing yours the other day, I didn't do as well but I will share it shortly, maybe you should shoot a pano? ;) On 27 April 2013 01:44, Kenneth Waller <[email protected]> wrote: > Very well done pano! > Bummer about the images lost. > How many images to capture the pano and were they portrait or landscape > captures? Hi Ken, thanks! Over night I ran the software Recuva http://www.piriform.com/recuva and managed to undelete all the lost files, glad I did as there were many that I just could never come close to finding again. The later sessions were much small in number so the files had not yet been overwritten thankfully, but I was very lucky, it could have been a mini-disaster. The capture was 7 images in landscape orientation and all hand held, I left the pano kit in the car but it still worked well as there was little foreground detail across adjacent images.

Hi Marnie, the light falling on the buildings it did was just fortuitous, I kept the sun just out of frame but the pano is almost a full 190 degrees so you can almost see the light source and its direct reflections in the one image. Thanks again, glad you liked it, 50% intent 50% good fortune I suspect.
