NZ Panoramas

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.

Wow! Those first two really make me sit up in my chair. Literally. Gorgeous images. Maybe just a little oversharpened in PP?

I Love Mt Sefton... Its even better when you climb the ridge to the left of that image up to Mueller hut, from there you can see the 100M thick walls of ice!

NZ... There is no competition...

Amazing... We could hear the thunder from them as they groaned and shifted in the sunlight as we walked the Hooker Trail.

You've really got this pano thing happening, Alistair. Great work. :D

I think image #2 is breathtaking - fabulous composition, outstanding colour & the tonal range is superb. Whilst there is a lot of foreground, it is graduated in texture and shade. Very well done indeed!

But I have a question about panos - do you make them to print, or for monitor viewing? I'm just not sure of the way you'd best display them. I'm thinking maybe by print, as the scrolling required on the monitor means that you almost never see the full impact of the total view.

What do people think :?:

#2 is great

#1 is great, but I would have liked to have seen it wider ie. more shots to make up the pano.

I always take my panos in portrait orientation to increase the final resolution and vertical aspect. 6, 10 and 10 pics for each pano respectively.

Microsoft Digital Image Pro 10... uses the same algorithm as AutoStitch but handles 16bit tiff as input. Sometimes when I get serious, I've been using PTmac which is a Mac frontend for PanoTools and finish off in PhotoShop CS for PP.
