The link should end with a file name like jpg. As you can see in your link, it does not.

Try this instead: http://www.pixspot.com/albums/userpics/ ... y-pan1.jpg

Great photo, but I think the sky is a bit too blue for my liking. Also it'd be nice to have the foreground contrast brought up a bit. Right now I'm just looking at the sky :)

Hi Striking,

you've got a fine result, handheld.
I would love to see more detail in the forground and left hand side of the pano.
I also agree with PiroStitch.
What lens were you using and also what metering settings did you have ?
Ahh, before I forget, what pano stitching software did you use ?

Cheers

i was using the standard lense,

i used spot metering on the blue sky which usually gives a pretty close reading to that of neutrel grey, i use that most of the time and dont need to chance seting unless the lighting condition changes :)

Hi Striking,

Thanks for the response.
I'll look into your way of metering :" i used spot metering on the blue sky which usually gives a pretty close reading to that of neutrel grey " once
my D70 comes back from hospital "

I assume the photos you took were portrait ?
What software did you use for stitching the pano ?

Cheers

Fair enough, but where I love there is no ocean like that. That's what I meant. I love the ocean, but I live in what's called the prairies. Mostly farm land. Although... I do have the rocky mountains 1 hour away from here. I can't wait till all the brown is gone. Spring is almost here, you can bet you'll see more photos from me.

I would trade in a heartbeat. I've lived in this climate for 26 years. I am getting tired of the -30 to -40 winters, and 3 month summers. I have actually considered moving to Australia once. Who knows, maybe one day I will.
