Finally starting to go through my pics from a couple of weeks ago - trip up to Queensland via the Newell Highway through Narrabri.

This pano is from 13 shots joined together using Panorama Factory. Haven't spent a great deal of time PP'ing, and it's from the JPG version of the NEF&JPG, so there's still some improvement possible.

Original here (warning - 3.7meg!) http://sheepie.smugmug.com/photos/80742263-O.jpg

It's in the Mt Kaputar National Park (http://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/parks.nsf/parkcontent/n0038?opendocument&parkkey=n0038&type=xo), just to the East of Narribri - really amazing bit of countryside. They reckon on a clear day (which this wasn't!) you can see 10% of NSW from this area. More to come in the coming days.

Any comments / suggestions for improving with PP? I think it's worth spending some time on it using the NEF files, but I want to trial it with the JPG's first.

Awesome. I love that part of NSW.

There is a nice drive from Narrabri, past sawn rock into Armadale. All back roads, wide 90% sealed roads and no cops, so you can give it some juice.

OK - have now redone this using the NEF files as the base, and have therefore been able to recover some detail in the sky. I think this is an improvement, and will be printing it out when I get my office back together and printer reconnected!

The original of this rework is 12,816 x 2,747 pixels - a 100meg TIFF file, so I can print pretty big ;)

This I like. The rework really makes the shot pop. Looking forward to seeing the large print.

Thanks guys - something I'll look out for in the future is where I place the treeline - I think this would have benefited from having more of the foreground trees than there is.

I will be printing this large - the more I look at it the more I like it :)
