Description


My first attempt to showcase a panoramic view on BetterPhoto.
Taken during our trip to Victoria earlier this month. This area is known as Bay of Islands and is so beautiful that this photo does it no justice.

Hand held - photostitch of 6 individual photos.

...hi Donna...I like the colors of blue in this...and especially like the little "still cove" to the left of the center rock island...bet if I looked there it would be teaming with marine life...i bet it could be a vertical compositon in of itself... nicely done! ...what type of thread did you use for the stictching? :) #1295422

Donna,
I see this was done a while back but Wow, handheld huh, really slick! Very nice and great panorama. I t seems very "fulfilling" to get to see the whole panorama of a place like that I think. And yes, the place looks fabulous. Congrats even if I am late.
