Bushwalk Australia

Here's a few pano's from my most recent trip...

Cradle Boat Shed


Cradle Mountain


Hazards Beach - Freycient NP

What do a bunch of Queenslanders do when confronted with a beautiful beach... we do what comes naturally, go for a swim... the only problem is the temperature is a little colder down at Hazards, but still a good oppourtunity to take the camera for a swim and snap a 360 degree view of Hazards from 20m or so off shore.

Cradle Summit 360 - For those that haven't made it to the top... this is the view


Walls of Jerusalem - Looking back from the base of Solomon's Throne


Solomon's Throne 360

Great panos, thanks for posting them.

Stunning panoramas on my two 24" LCD' side by side! Can you tell us a bit about your technique? Did you use a tripod and photo stitching software, or a proper "pano" camera? . . . .and how did you organise those weather conditions

All hand held, on either a point and shoot (hazards) or a EOS5. I just use one of the focus indicators to line up the horizon on each shot and make sure i get a suitable overlap (i also try and make each shot composed so it could be used seperately if needed, so i usually end up with overkill!). The Cradle summit 360 i actually went round twice and that's a mixture of shots.

Both cameras were usually on auto exposure and i just tweaked the exposures in photoshop to blend in (sometimes i find it works better this way, sometime i just scrap it cause it's too much hard work). Most of the shots were taken with a portrait alignment to get more info into the shot. Either used photoshop photomerge function or PTGui batch stitcher, and then just a bit of fiddling to get it all lined up and looking ok.

As for the weather, we had 10 days of sunshine (must have brought some of the QLD weather with us). We carried around all this wet weather gear with us and didn't even have to use it, then we got back to Brisbane and it rained for the next couple of weeks... LOL!

Awesome panos.

those are really nice. I love panos!
