Re: PESO - Fairy Bower Falls
Thank you Rick I didn't have to do it as a 30 shot pano, but a single wide angle shot couldn't capture all of the detail to my satisfaction...besides, it was a challenge. It's actually quite a high waterfall, I just didn't bother trying to capture the main falls, just the cascade at the base. My photobucket name is Sherman as I started it initially to host shots from my 4wd trips. My old tank of a landcruiser was nicknamed Sherman as it was built like a Sherman tank. cheers James - Original Message - From: Rick Womer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List pdml@pdml.net Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2007 10:16 AM Subject: Re: PESO - Fairy Bower Falls Lovely scene, composition, and exposure!

Hi James. A beautiful image and composition. The small image comes across as very granular at this size on my monitor. It doesn't strike me as the kind of shot one would normally shoot as multiple frames and stitch, but it's an intriguing idea. Tom C.
