Within the Sydney Olympic Park precinct lies "The Brickpit" which allowed me to try out my new Sigma 15mm f/2.8 fisheye lens to take this stitched panorama image.

This is a handheld HDR panorama composed of five (5) sets of three (3) bracketed images.

The Brickpit


any thoughts for improvement?

I like it,but I am not sure how you could
improve it further all the elements are
there in place, colour and composition.
I guess as a big print would look very good
on a developer's wall. I am not being funny,
I am strugling to think where else would one
put it.

Thanks Zafra

Rodney, as has become the norm and in fact our expectation of you now, the technical aspects of the shot and it's processing are essentially flawless.

For me, I think it could use some point of interest. It's a big scene without something drawing me in and pausing for reflection and appreciation. I know you're not the prettiest subject in the world but I think in the absence of a focal point I'd be thinking of sticking yourself into here scenes somehow like you did in that last landscape that worked so perfectly. Maybe about to skim a stone on the water or something...

As an idea, I saw a photo similar to this of the same place a while ago and in the foreground the photographer put himself in the frame, only on quite a small scale, with a scourer, rubber gloves and a bucket. It was a brilliant image adding that point of interest. I got a good chuckle out of that one and it made me remember it immediately even to this day.

Thanks Chris - really appreciate your candid feedback.
I like your idea a lot and if I ever get back out there (and have another party willing to help )
