Fishing at Lake Samsonvale

This is the first time in a while I have had the chance to get out and do what I love doing.

 

8 image pan

Canon 50d

Focal length: 25mm

Iso 100

F/22@ 1/8 second

GND 8

 

View On Black

 

 

Not so much a new years resolution, but more of "Pull it back, your getting off track"

As all can see I'm a pano head...It's my thing! almost an obsession!

The putting of a camera on an expensive pan setup is only the means to an end which to be honest is wearing a bit thin.

 

I have no trouble at all filling an 8 gig card in twenty mins..because I can, it is usually the case! I only carry one card so as not to go crazy just snapping away.

I shoot large Raw and small Jpeg, stitch the jpegs so I can determine what to use for a pan...(if any) ...20 pans can take up to 3 hours to put together, before I even start on the selected image!

 

The drawbacks of panning can be many

especially if long exposures are used.

For my landscape photography which is about 90% of what I do, the needs are simple: crystal sharp glass, the slower the better! F/22 - F/11 Iso as high as 200 hahaha, and a system that tells me to slow down, think, and tell it what to do, a system that is state of the art digital, although primitive in all other respects...something that will see me through all the amazing developments we have had and are going through...something that I never have to update!

Introducing my new baby..coming soon!
