Took these images in sequence yesterday at McCauley's Headland, wondered what to do with them and decided to have a go at panoramicisation (?), had to make use of a fair bit of healing/clone tools but it came out OK I think. Any comments welcomed. Max

I think that is damm good. A very good result for your effort.

can tell a little bit where the seams lie, but a very good job! Would be interested to see the seperate images to see what it involved!

The colour is pretty dull on the screen but take away the severe web compression and the green ocean is pretty cool, Max

JD, I'll post the separate images, I wasn't sure how much of the "join" to get rid of as I wasn't sure how to do the wave, will have to experiment a little, Max

Good pano effect........and I think the 3 seperate shots would be good also.....

Nice shots
That guy is busting a big air
Shame he lost it in the third shot - dont spose you can stick him back to his board via post processing

Posted: **Wed Apr 20, 2005 2:50 pm**

Hey dude, I reckon we can do almost anything these days, maybe we could put my head there? :-)

very bloody good max. is that the same dude you shot a while ago? he pulls pretty good air whoever it is

Posted: **Wed Apr 20, 2005 5:00 pm**

did notice that you mangled the nose of his board

Posted: **Wed Apr 20, 2005 6:11 pm**

Looks gnarly dude.

No really, it is a really good effort and i like what you have done.

Posted: **Wed Apr 20, 2005 7:09 pm**

I love the images you caught but not too keen on the pano. It is a top sequence and I reckon the second image is my poster pic.

Did you see the housing for a D70 that went begging on e-bay earlier today?

Cheers,

Love it Max , Surf, surfer, waves, pano, excellent

Ozi, great effort mate, it's not offen you get sections like that, which allow you to bind them into one sequence image. What lens you shooting with?

It's a shame the guy did'nt make it...

Common old garden variety Tamron 70-300mm @F6, cheapie, but then again, I'm not going to take an expensive lens into the water!

Yes, it's the same bloke from a few months back, I was about to leave the rocks when I noticed him heading out and so I stayed!

Actually, the board got mangled in the stitching, I re-did the nose for the image on the left, it was completely gone, but left the other nose. In fact, if you look hard enough the board on the left has a crinkly nose, couldn't quite get it perfect, but we tried...Max

No, it is still for sale?

Posted: **Wed Apr 20, 2005 11:06 pm**

not on ebay - it went through with no bids - the guy lives in Byron.

Posted: **Thu Apr 21, 2005 3:14 pm**

What was he askin?

Posted: **Thu Apr 21, 2005 4:40 pm**

1600 for camera, housing, kit lens and a UV filter. I have spoken with him since and he would sell seperate ... camera gear for 1300 and housing for 500. I will be having a look at it tomorrow if anyone is interested to know more.

Cheers,

Does anyone know if it's possible to get waterproof D70 gear for longer lenses? (Or any camera in that matter)

Max

Posted: **Fri Apr 22, 2005 12:46 am**

Max , after a little research there is only one place i can see which makes camera housings to accommodate the D70 camera here is the link:
http://www.oceanearth.com/bruderphoto.htm
It does'nt speculate which lens that is compatable with but judging by the picture of it, it would'nt support much more than the kit lens 18-70mm (but you certaily would'nt need anything bigger anyway, considering your in the water with the subject).
Let me know what you think mate!

Posted: **Fri Apr 22, 2005 9:59 am**

Click,

the site looks really good, the products seem good, thanks for the post. The link to the online store wasn't working so I couldn't gauge the prices, the carbon fibre looks quality.

Cheers,

Max

pluckaduck has a waterproof housing, I think he did a post about it, try a search for some info. From memory cost similar to the camera

Posted: **Fri Apr 22, 2005 10:09 am**

Thanks Glen, will search through.
