Looking south from Cape Arnhem, down the western Gulf of Carpentaria (Arafura Sea). 12 shot pano, 50mm, portrait. I wanted more cloud in the shot but unfortunately I hadn't realised the tripod moved off level and I was shooting at an angle I've since gone and built some sand feet from an old plastic chopping board.


Twin Eagles, near Cape Arnhem
(single image - horizon is a little skew )


Between the islands (10 shots - 18-200VR @ 18mm). Before anyone jumps in and says, the centre's not right; you are correct and I need to fix it.


South of the islands (9 shots - 18-200VR @ 18mm). Bit washed out in colours.


I think they all would have benifited from a CPL - guess what I left at home!

the Between the island shot is my favorite of these ... framed nicely

Oh wow... these bring back some memories of traipsing around in my Dad's old 4Wd up that way.. *sigh*..

Wonderful images... I really enjoyed them... and oh my you must have some patience to stitch that many pics together!

Aaahhh, the wet season. Doesn't it open up some opportunities for something different in the top end.

I actually saw some clouds and rain the other day, but no camera at hand. I think that'll be it for the year.

After having sailed past that area several times it is nice to see it from ashore. Thanks for sharing your terrific images.

Between the islands

i really like how the foreground (water) looks in this shot

Nice one

Cheers Cobby

<mod hat on>Please note our forum image guidelines. Max image size should be no more than 800 pixels and, yes I know what that means for panos <mod hat off>

These images are well composed and stitched. Of these #1 is the weakest (it looks chopped at the top -I'd like more cloud and less foreground, but that's just me) and #4 the strongest despite the chopped clouds (go figure). I like the subtle tones in #4 which enhance the pristine feel of the image.

Regarding your comments about a CPL - for pano shots this should be avoided because the differing polarisations will be noticeable when you stitch.

Apologies, will note for future reference. Thanks for reminder, size corrected.

Yes, #1 is chopped at the top by about 20% from what I intended (more clouds) I'm hoping to revisit the area in a few weeks but doubt I'll get such a calm day.

Didn't consider that about the CPL, I was thinking as long as I didn't change the rotation it would remain as is but of coarse light being light it wouldn't. Thanks for bring that up.
