Really good panos and view, consistant exposure and WB!

BTW, may I ask did you shoot with raw or JPG? Also what is the widest focal length that can do Panoramic? When I try my 10mm on my KM5D it seem way too wide and become hard to stitch

shots,some were 360degree stitch?

Thanks. I shot in RAW mode and used manual mode on my 20D + 17-40L. I have seen 16mm (after multiplier) shots taken and stitched without any issue.

Most of them were taken in 360 degree but crop most of them to give better composition.

Very nice shots! Did u do a free and easy self-drive or package? I should think free and easy yah...

David · 3rd May 2006

oh 1 more thing... I like the sharpness of your images! Did u sharpen them in PS or use some other plug-ins? tnx bro..

Stanly · 3rd May 2006

Wow....excellent scenery.....

tankm · 3rd May 2006

Nice pano in a very scenic country......

Nit picking....some stitch banding in the "Mirror Lake (Route to Milford Sound)" and "Lake Wakatipu at Night (Glenorchy)". Interesting to see the banding is more obvious in the scale down picture compare to the large size picture.

I use breezebrowser to convert my original pano (big image) into web format.

Could the banding issue coz' by display settings ? I use 32 bit display and I did not see any banding issue. It could be my PC issue ...
