Avalon Beach

Avalon Beach, originally uploaded by dr.r.lam.

As the info states - 9 shot vertical panorama. This is one of the first panoramas made with the Acretach GP-s Head. I think this piece of equipment is fantastic. It is essentially a panoramic head and leveling base combined into a single piece of machined aluminium, weighing less than 500g. Simply phenomenal.

A few things I'd have changed about the photo - I think a closer crop from the left, and I would have taken a few more shots to the right in order to correct the distortion (seen as a warping of the balustrade of the wooden deck on the right side). So much to learn!

I'm glad the colours came out well - it certainly was a wonderful day for shooting. Glad I was in the shade though - using the Lee filters makes use of the lens hood impossible - I would have had significant glare issues were it not for the eucalyptus.
