These are 2 panoramas of the Umpherston Sinkhole in Mt. Gambier, South Australia.
Both are 6-8 portrait orientation shots stitched together in PSE using the Cylindrical option. It was an overcast day, the light wasn't great and no tripod. At f8 I still managed a shutter speed of 1/80s - 1/125s with ISO 200 which is about as slow as I would like to go hand held for a panorama sequence.

I've never heard of this place. That is one enormous sink hole. The photos are beautiful. It must be quite an experience to visit it.

Amazing.
When I went to the link, I expected to see the usual - big hole in middle of road, and cars fallen in to it.
James Umpherston did a magnificent job of the garden. Not many people would have even thought of that idea.
Thanks for showing it, Bailey.

I love your photos, really shows the grandeur of the place, did you stay to feed the possums at dusk as they emerge from their hiding places behind all those overhanging vines?

Hi BillieJean, I've never heard of this place. That is one enormous sink hole. The photos are beautiful. It must be quite an experience to visit it. Thank you BillieJean  . To be honest, I had never heard of it either until our visit to Mt. Gambier earlier this year. Yes it was quite an experience seeing this huge "hole" in the ground with a garden at the bottom of it.
Hi whippet, Amazing. When I went to the link, I expected to see the usual - big hole in middle of road, and cars fallen in to it. James Umpherston did a magnificent job of the garden. Not many people would have even thought of that idea. Thanks for showing it, Bailey. No problem whippet The sinkhole was actually a huge cave (before it became a sinkhole). The sinkhole was formed when the top of the cave collapsed onto the bottom of the cave. The topsoil now on the floor of the sinkhole is perfect to create the garden.
Hi jackscrap I love your photos, really shows the grandeur of the place, did you stay to feed the possums at dusk as they emerge from their hiding places behind all those overhanging vines? Thank you jackscrap . No, we didn't stay till dusk to see and feed the possums. The afternoon was overcast and soon after I took the photos it started to drizzle, so we went back to our accommodation. But even if the weather was fine, I doubt we would have stayed. It was our last day at Mt. Gambier before driving back to Melbourne the next day (6-8 hours depending on number of stops), and Mrs. B and I needed to rest up a bit. |
