Some Panos from...Bondi

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 was Bondi beach last night and could not resist shooting some pano's so here are a few that I have done. All are stitched using CS2.

UPDATE: ALL FIXED NOW, should link to 5080 pixel wide images!

EDIT**** The sloped buildings annoyed me so I redid that pano and have replaced it

Cameron,

they look like they could be nice but when viewing them, still find it a bit too small to make a valuable critique :?

The new board is providing automatic links to the small file, I am going to try to link them to a larger file now. I am not game in placing full size images of these on the web (up to about 15mb)

UPDATE: ALL FIXED NOW, should link to 5080 pixel wide images!

Nice and big now :shock:

I like the first one, well done.

Second one, I find a bit too bright on the left and a bit too much sky.

Third one is my favourite. When looking at the full size version of this one, I see some distortion on the right, buildings seem to be leaning to the right and are about to fall in the ocean. Still is my choice.

Not sure on the last one, a bit too dark I think. This would work better on a nice sunny day, imho.

cheers,

André

#3 and #4 were done using the perspective correction in CS2 as the images did not want to stitch nicely otherwise. Are the join seams too apparent in #3 for you? I they just stick out to me

i agree with what andre wrote.
i like the first one, with great detail of people on the beach.
the plane(i think) in the second one spoils it, but is an interesting feature, and the distortion on the houses in #3 is very evident. i couldnt see where it was stiched - often the waves can give it away, but my monitor at work is only about 13inches !
nice work. i want to head to bondi now !!
