Guide Me Home

Kalbarri National Park is home to many awe inspiring vistas. The seasoned traveler would be able to name a handful of the iconic landmarks in the area.

 

For me, however, Pot Alley is the location around Kalbarri that provides the best photographic opportunities.

 

The winding alleys flanked by sand stone rock formations, jagged red cliffs and native flora gives the sense of being much further away from the civilization than you really are. In reality, however, Pot Alley is located 10 mins away from the town of Kalbarri and is one of the most accessible sight seeing locations in the National Park.

 

This is a 77 frame panorama captured with a Nikon Z6 and 35mm 1.8 S lens. I shot this image with a wide open aperture and a low percentage of overlap between frames (40% instead of my usual 50-60%) because I've heard good reviews of 35mm S lens that I wanted to push it to is limits.

 

The 35mm is truly an amazing performer with ultra low distortion and incredibly sharp corners when shot wide-open. It also out performed the Nikon 58mm f/1.4G for coma performance in the corners, something very few Nikon lenses do well.
