Nice work Bailey.....TFS. I especially like your composition on the Great Wall. |

Hi hmca,
thank you for your comment. To be honest, the Great Wall photo is actually a crop zoom to create a panorama. The lens I used at the time didn't have the legs to zoom in that close.
The top 3 photos are a stitched image from 5-6 photos using Photomerge Panorama in PSE.

I used to enjoy doing panoramas, the same as you say, using several images, bailey.
It is a wonder that wall is still standing if there are always lots of people walking along it.
Where were the others taken?

Hi whippet,
landscapes are my main interest in photography. The first photo is the view from the Mt Buffalo Chalet lookout (Victoria, Australia). The second photo is from Sullivans Lookout, Germantown, Victoria overlooking the townships of Mt. Beauty and Tawonga South. The third photo is Wineglass Bay in the Freycinet National Park on the east coast of Tasmania, Australia.

With scenery like that, I am not surprised, bailey.
It is beautiful, and the panorama effect adds to that, too.
The first picture is much like my two most favourite places - North Yorkshire, and Scotland.

When I come across scenes like these I always shoot them with most likely wanting to print them sometime in the future. The only way I can get meaningful prints is to shoot multiple shots to create a panorama in post. The Wineglass Bay pano was shot with a focal length of 41mm. The other photos were all shot with 70mm focal length. If I shot the first two scenes fully wide (17mm) I still wouldn't have been able to get the whole scene in the frame and what I would have got in the frame would have lacked the fine detail.
I have printed the top 3 panoramas (after a bit of cropping at each end) and they range from about 1200 millimetres to 1700 millimetres in length and look great on the wall imho. Shooting multiple shots to create a pano gives you the resolution you need to make long prints. It also gives you the option to crop the pano into smaller sections and still have the resolution to make decent sized prints.
