The Curve
A 16 Frame stitched panorama at Weeping Rock. The pano is 5 vertical frames wide and I manually bracketed each of the positions. I also adjusted the polariser at each position to optimise the level of polarisation to best deal with the extensive glare on the wet rocks and reveal that rich orange below
That lovely curved handrail and steps along with the smoothly flowing water was too hard to pass up here
For Natalie and Donovan who were interested in the arca panning clamp I’m using atop my ballhead. You can see here even with relatively close objects (like the end of the handrail) at 24mm, automatic stitching wasn’t a problem. Even with the rotation not happening around the lens nodal point with this simple setup
The conditions ended up being perfect for photographing exposed waterfalls like this. 100% overcast skies for soft shadowless light and still some mist and fog around
Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.
