Here is a few from a road trip to Perth the Christmas before last. I know the pano is a bit bent okay but "I" still like it, oh and the treetop shot is about the trees not the sky. Cheers.

Guess which camera took which shots? Noooooo don't start another P&S vs SLR argument, I don't think I could take it :-| Mick B P&S vs SLR? Who cares, it's all about the composition and light :-) On 18/11/07 8:02 PM, in article 473fffc1$0$29815$5a62ac22@per-qv1-newsreader-01.iinet.net.au, "Pete D" <no@email.com> wrote: >>> Here is a few from a road trip to Perth the Christmas before last. >>> [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > Guess which camera took which shots? > Noooooo don't start another P&S vs SLR argument, I don't think I could > take [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > P&S vs SLR? Who cares, it's all about the composition and light :-) Indeed it is and I have been so busy in the last few months that I have not taken any time to do much shooting other than family and caving/climbing activities I have been running and that has meant only a few shots on the go. > >> Here is a few from a road trip to Perth the Christmas before last. > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > Guess which camera took which shots? Narh. Images too small to make any sense of IQ. Just commenting on the great use of perspective, colour balance and overall image "feel". >> >> Here is a few from a road trip to Perth the Christmas before last. >> [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > Just commenting on the great use of perspective, > colour balance and overall image "feel". As we all should and above all keep it pleasant and constructive. Actually all the above were taken with the old Pentax DS, still a lovely little camera. Was out canoeing this afternoon and tried out a cheap waterproof film camera, will post some if any turn out. Looks like most in this group can play nice when they choose and makes for a far more pleasant playground. Cheers. Pete > Actually all the above were taken with the old Pentax DS, still a lovely > little camera. Cool! Always had a soft spot for that brand, since the LX and the ME Super. Never got a chance to own one, maybe in another life... > Looks like most in this group can play nice when they choose and makes for a > far more pleasant playground. You can count on me to *always* play nice to others, IF they play nice to me. But it's a two way street, as far as I'm concerned. >> Actually all the above were taken with the old Pentax DS, still a lovely >> little camera. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Never got a chance to own one, maybe in > another life... I have been collecting a few of the oldies and have MV-1, MG-1, ME Super x 2, KM (I originally bought one of these back in 1977 with a 55mm F1.8 lens) and stil using the KM, usually filled with RealA but will try some Provia next time I think. Nearly bought a couple K1000's with consecutive serial numbers a couple of months back from a local guy but decided that I just didn't need them. > Here is a few from a road trip to Perth the Christmas before last. > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2213/2041906115_9dd757dee4_o.jpg Lovely work, Pete. Do I recognise 'Smooth Pool', and Streaky Bay jetty methinks? That curved beach and headland looks familiar too, but I can't quite place it.... mt >> Here is a few from a road trip to Perth the Christmas before last. >> [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > mt Streaky Bay jetty is in there, very special that jetty, north facing jetty on the south of the country, most unusual. Smooth Pool, not sure which one you are refering to, the long curved beach and headland is near to Streaky Bay, I guess that is the one, beautiful area. Went down to Point Labaat (probably wrong spelling) and watched the sea lions doing sea lion things, truly a great experience. > <mark.thoma...@gmail.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > area.

'Smooth Pool' is one of the many coastal spots close to Streaky - and I'm pretty sure that is the name of the area you have in your pano shot. It's on the same road that eventually heads to Point Labatt, I think. I used to work in the marine sciences in Port Lincoln and got to know SA's west coast pretty well, but that curved beach had me until a few moments ago - now I'm pretty sure it is one of the bays/headlands near 'Frenchman Bluff' (near the area shown in the "Tour 4" page below). Fairly narrow sandy track to get there, iirc? These shots of the region (several pages): http://www.scieng.flinders.edu.au/biology/lmsc/tour/index.html were all taken by me, back when I worked at the Lincoln Marine Science Centre. (Please note that the Flinders website team did the jpegging and post-processing, not me! - the originals are not quite as contrasty/blown as shown..) If anyone wants the originals dug up (mostly slides), I can probably find them here somewhere. Some of the best pristine coastline in Australia.. And no fighting for a spot on the beach even on the hottest of days.

That pano looked well done. Assuming it was stiched from several shots. Many of the panos I've seen you can see the patchy colours in the sky where the photos have been stiched.  SignatureTroy Piggins Please feel free to provide constructive criticism on any photos I post. I'm always learning and appreciate feedback. >* Pete D is quoted > * & my replies are inline below : [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > see the patchy colours in the sky where the photos have been > stiched. The pano is 7 shots and I am not sure if it is showing some of the curvature of the earth because it is so wide or the software has skewed off a bit. This is a seriously lovely place for swimming, actually in the Southern Ocean. Here is a bigger version. http://www.shuttertalk.com/forums/images/upload/Greens-Pool-Pano.jpg Cheers. Pete |
