Addiction…
by Rodney Campbell on Jan.08, 2016, under Life, Photography
Hi my name is Rodney Campbell, I’ve been clean for over six months, it’s been 197 days since my last panosphere. I’ve been in denial about my addiction and I’d believed that I’d fully recovered from my last binge panosphere session more than six months ago.
Alas as with all addictions the underlying cravings are not far below the surface. When I saw a tiny planet creation by Deb Mooney from our morning session at the Sea Cliff Bridge at Coalcliff I knew I was in trouble :).
After putting my one stitched panorama from the morning through the usual convolutions and processing I just wasn’t feeling it. It just wasn’t working for me and I figured that would be it… perhaps I really was cured…
Unfortunately whilst I didn’t see a tiny planet in there, along the way one of the results of an intermediate step did trigger a different idea to spark in my puny mind. This is usually a dangerous thing and as a result this creation was born…
Round the Bend
NIKON D750 + 24.0-70.0 mm f/2.8 @ 50 mm, 25 sec at f/16, ISO 100
I was actually quite pleased with this result, tho the final view isn’t a typical representation of the scene at Sea Cliff Bridge it is perhaps what I might have wished for the path of the road on this bland morning :). So… I should have just stopped there, but…
Lest you think however that I wasn’t fully committed to my addiction… I bring you not one but two panospheres from the morning session. Alas Gerry – it is worse than we feared!…
Those sinuous curves of the sea cliff bridge arcing out over the Tasman Sea just lent themselves so well to further transformations.
Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger – so click any of the images below to see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer.
The first in twilight tones and thirty (30) minutes before sunrise.
Ringworld Addictions
NIKON D750 + 24.0-70.0 mm f/2.8 @ 52 mm, 31 sec at f/8, ISO 100
The second is minutes after sunrise when the colour was for the briefest time at it’s peak before disappearing into the gloom.
Planet Mutt
NIKON D750 + 24.0-70.0 mm f/2.8 @ 50 mm, 25 sec at f/16, ISO 100
I’d like to say this is all Gerry’s fault… but nay, tis not :(…
