Wow, great shots darb. I don't recognise any of the places! Except the last one, I'm guessing is Apollo Bay based on its filename. ;)

The mountains one is fantastic - well exposed, sharp, detailed and well stitched.

Nice work. I must have a go at panos. Second one looks like the Blue lake near Mt Gambier?

These look great.

You are inspiring me to give this pano thing a go.

What program or method do you use or would you recomend as a starting point.

Also how would you go about getting these printed to about 800 or 900mm wide to frame?

My printer won't do that sort of thing.

The only way I know how to create panoramas without using software is to use a "Shift and Tilt" or Perspective Control lens http://www.maxwell.com.au/products/nikon/nikkor/micro/pc85mm_f28d.html to get three frames that will perfectly line up. Optionally you can use a "Zork" setup http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/accessories/zork.shtml that provides you tilt and shift capability. Either way, you're in for huge dollars with not much benefit over a good panromic head and good pano software.

Personally, I've created panos using lenses from my 12mm end of my 12-24 zoom to my 105mm prime.

hi all,

yep, used autostitch ... noting beats that program! ... the big heavy expensive applications cant beat it ! its simple, doesnt require install, runs out of a single binary and rarely gets it wrong!

I should be in sales for them, eh!

Beautiful shots, especially the first 2. Makes me want to get out and try some panos! First, I'd have to find an interesting place such as in your shots though.... :(
