^ Me too... but don't expect your photography to get like these guys after you buy one.

Anyway, I wish I had a tripod but I don't... yet. North Vancouver, BC from downtown:

These are my first few efforts, no tripod on any of them, and one of them I had on S mode! Doh! Also, photobucket destroys my pictures so yeah.

Rome:


Sheepscot Maine: (I grew up here)


Ferrari Enzo (came out sort of strange, but I like it!)



Pemaquid Point, Maine: (lots of noise, kind of screwed up, but figure I would post it anyways)


Assisi, Italy (fubared this one up because I had it in S mode, tried to repair it best I could in PS)

(be easy on that one guys lol)

Heres the better one of Assisi. Couldn't decide between color and b&w so I did both!.

Visible to the far left is Rocca Maggiore (castle from around 1000ad) and in the center is the famous Monastery in Assisi. To the left of that is the city of Spoleto and the rest is just beautiful Umbrian countryside.

That would be been pretty cool if it wasn't for the noise in it . I was also wondering if you used unsharp mask (the edges look really strange where the trees are) but it could just be some strange ghosting from the HDR software you used. If it is the HDR software I can always recommend Photomatix . Cool concept .

I used Dynamic Photo HDR, and as for the noise, I saw it. I did it for a small postcard thing for my girlfriend's village, for free. There was a sensor error, you'll see a weird line in the middle, horizontal. I had the normal pano, printed it, and then thought why not do it in HDR, and since I had it in 16bit TIFF, i generated a raw out of it. When printed on small postcard size, the noise isnt apparent at all.

It was shot at a place called Oberbrechen, in Hessen, Germany. I stitched a panorama first and then fed it to my HDR program, if that is what you mean by "the lights coming out"

The view from Passage Peak, Hamilton Island, Australia.

Its a 3 hour, 8km return walk to the top of Hamilton Island. If you ever get the chance and the weather plays nice, couldn't recommend it enough.


2: one for the purists that keep winging about CPLs and panos (i love the effect, but theres a lot of people that dont). Taken at around the corner from the first one, facing away from the resort.


3: Taken about halfway up the trail. HDR.


Best viewed large!

I love how the horizon of the 2nd one is curved a bit to give the feeling of roundness, but too bad it straightens out to the right.

I am now addicted with the size, I am currently putting together an attempt with some corporate funding to break the current record. Will have to wait and see how that develops.

Melbourne's CBD as seen from the roof of the Manchester Unity Building. Taken back at the Melbourne Open House on my Horizon S3pro Panoramic 35mm camera on Kodak 400UC film.

Yes, there is a buldge in the horizon, its part of the laws of swing lens cameras

Apparently they've canned 400UC, which sucks cos it was fast becoming my generic do anything C41 film. Now to find something else....

Try using Autopano Pro, it'll work much better. Can you host the individual pics, I have the program.
