great idea on the theme and probably your best use of PS to date. You have thousands of photos there and a scanner so pull out a few beauties please.

Hi Barre,
Thats an interesting in-sight into the new Velvia - sounds like its an improvement. Anyway like this - especially the stillness of teh water.
Rgds,

Hi Don,
The lines are ripples in the water behind the reeds. The shot itself was approx 1/350th sec, the aperature is wide open hence the blurry "long exposure" effect.
Rgds,
Shane

the large black border works well here - I like the graduated eefect coming from the sillouette to the horizon, then the rays breaking through the clouds. Tis good boy

thanks Hugo - its only when I applied the blue filter on the channel mixer that I noticed the water ripples too. I enhanced this slightly by using the brush tool horizontally on a contrast layer. The intense out of focus effect was achieved by throwing the aperature wide open and was very intentional. The in camera sharpening has long been turned off and I am starting to appreciate relative softness in images more and more. In PS I applied about 8 layers all with subtle ajustments, in saying that, the above was achieved in about 5 minutes. Finally the rebate border was added. Its a 5x4 mimic - I like its roughness. I have been looking for a 35mm equivilent for ages but cant find one anywhere. Keep an eye out for me!

The water is like glass, I'd say this was a great sight to see. Nicely composed - colour is well managed too.

This image is New York all over. Other than the theme it really has a lot going on, everywhere in the frame theres something happening. I particularly like the reflection on the right hand side. It has shape, form, texture and gives great balance to the overall image. The two black squares on either side of the frame offer their own form of symetry too. This is the kind of scene many phototgraphers would walk past and pay no attention to (even in this day and age when everybody has a digital camera!) but you nailed it. Great shot.

Welcome back Hugo,
Due to the fact that I am still getting used to this technique I shoot approx every 30 degrees. So I have about 12-14 images to gather all the detail for the stich. Its too much though and I think that half would be enough but still while you are there its no harm to get it. The most important aspect is to record the film plane as verticle as possible. Any deviation from this makes for hard work when stiching. The first shot above was taken to the left of the creek but compositionally it worked better in post production to centre this feature. I like the above image but the mountain on the left is slightly distorted. Hopefully I'll get thehang of it soon.
Rgds,
Shane

In future you should take a straight forward shot of the subject before you apply the many levels you do to get to the above end product. This way I feel that people will truly appreciate the effort and attention to detail you apply to get to results. Great work - keep it up.

Hi Barry - it was in fact Carsten who suggested the software (PTGui) and it works a treat. When shooting you just have to lock the exposure and the WB and try to keep the film plane as close to 90 degrees verticle as possible. I am having a few teething problems though, for one my PC crashes if I try to stich more than 6 images together. If I can get this problem solved then I'll try to take this technique up a gear.
