Description

Sometimes a photographer gets a lucky break. I was looking through my shots of the Australian Telescope Array at Narrabri, and came across two images that accidentally made a perfect panorama image.
Captured around 11.30 A.M. at 1/1250th f11.0 and ISO-640 with an 18mm focal length.


Exif: F Number: 11, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 10/12500 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 640, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 18.00 mm, Model: NIKON D80
