St. John's Cathedral 360 pano

I'll be visiting the UK in a few weeks and plan to visit many old Cathedrals while I'm there and give them the 360 treatment.

I've been tweaking my panosaurus this week for use with the Sigma 10-20mm and I think I got spot on now.

St John's is one of my favourite buildings in Brisbane. I can test the pano head at home but these surroundings are much nicer :)

HDR [-2,0,+2] in DPHDR and stitched in PTGui.

Taken on a Canon EOS 40D and Sigma 10-20mm.

Gold Coast star trails

Taken from the balcony of my hotel room at the Royal Pines Resort.

147 shots stacked in Photoshop. Each image was a 30 second exposure, f/8 ISO-200.

This was my wife's idea and I'm glad she mentioned it. I had thought very few stars at all would be visible over Surfer's Paradise but the results suggest otherwise :)

Taken on a Canon EOS 40D with a 17-85mm EFs lens.

Nudgee Beach Sunrise

Three shot HDR pano taken at Nudgee Beach. A particularly lovely sunrise and straight after this I had to go to work.

Taken with a Canon EOS 40D and 17-85mm EFS lens.

HDR in Photomatix, stitching in PTGui.

Editing in Photoshop involved cropping and layering in some of my single exposure layers to get rid of some annoying HDR artifacts. Finally added a curves layer set to 'multiply' at about 40% and applied some sharpening.

Sunset behind the cemetery

Sunset behind the cemetery, originally uploaded by greenplasticdave.

I took a trip out to my new spot two days ago and discovered that it actually sits at the end of a cemetery.

The location I shot from previously gave me limited spots to shoot from but knowing how to get in to the cemetery it was really easy to drive round the other side where one can easily walk round the whole pond.

HDR [-2,0,+2] pano stitched in PTGui. HDR with DPHDR.

Shot on a Canon EOS 40D and Sigma 10-20mm.

Sigma 10-20mm

I just joined the Sigma 10-20mm club :) The lens arrived on Monday but I didn't get to play with it till yesterday.

This is my current 'emergency sunset spot' it's only 10 minutes from the house so I can get to it if favourable conditions present themselves at the last minute :)
