Another Sydney Harbour Pano

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I did quite a bit of PP on this to make the image more blue as the orig was more orange. Let me know what you think and how I could improve.

That's a cracker of a shot and is well worth waiting for the large version to load to appreciate the quality of the image.

And thanks for abiding by our 800 px image size request :wink:

I like that! Captures everything in the city.

Dover Heights? never been there before.. might have to check it out. From the same place if you turn around is it the ocean?

Thanks for your comment thus far :)
Dover Heights is very close to the ocean. Its between Bondi and Vaucluse.

This is 3 photos. at 70mm
I used autostitch. its free and it rox!
find it here : http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~mbrown/autostitch/autostitch.html

The trick with it is in options to set everything to 100% ie jpg and quality otherwise it reduces the image. This one took around 5 or more mins to process on my Athlon running at 1.8Ghz (eq=3400+) 32 bit.

With this program you can do hand held panos and they come out quite good.

Heres one I did from the back of a boat hand held with my P&S Canon A75 this was 15 photos!!

Enjoy!

a number of members here use the panorama factory (not free) which also does a good job.
lots of different stuff finds use around here.

Best thing about autostitch is that its automatic no user involvement.
Just crop the result and PP :P
