Two pics taken at my favourite winery - Tyrrell's in the Hunter Valley last week. The first shot was taken with the Nikkor 28-70 and the second with the 10.5 DX fisheye and 50% defished with DxO Optics Pro.

Stubbsy, I really like the colour you get, how much of it is from DxO?

Nice photos mate. Tyrells are quite an underrated winery, in my opinion.

Very nice Peter :)

One question tho, can you defish to 50% like you did here in Nikon Capture?

Hi Peter - nice pics :)

I am somewhat distracted in the first however by the track on the left (I'm easily distracted, as you know ;) ).

Am looking forward to seeing the second one in printed form - as you say, these pano's do not show their true majesty unless they are viewed really big (and most of us don't have the luxury of a massive screen!). I wonder how big you can actually get away with printing it given the processing from DXO - will be an interesting experiment :)

Thank you all for your comments.

Chris - the colour is a combo of the greater dynamic range of the D2x and my PP. DxO doesn't alter it much. Bear in mind that I also used a Circular Polariser for these which ups the blue in the sky and the white of the clouds

Yip - Nikon Capture allows only 0% or 100% defish. That's why I use DxO - you can defish anywhere between 0% and 100% in 1% increments

Leon - I agonised over cloning that out, but decide to leave it in. Now I'm not so sure
