ISOSpeedRatings : 200
FocalLength : 60.00(mm)

A 5 stitched Panorama
Graham used my camera, it was his first Pano with John advising him what to do. Taken at Mangrove Creek Dam on a shoot with BP'er John Connolly and Margaret. This is magnificent country, the dam is the largest water storage on the Central Coast NSW Australia where we all live.

When the dam is full it has a surface area of 7 kilometres, as you can see from the dam wall on the left of the image the water level
is quite low as we have had a draught for the last ten years, well in our area anyway. This day was overcast, great for photography, wonderful day out with friends, a barbecue, snags, beer and a TEN FOOT VISITOR! I am really stoked at how this came out, I could jump right in it!~Pat

Sorry Michelle, I deleted the other image as I wasn't happy with the way BP had compressed it. It showed some artifacts that weren't on the original so I re-edited and heavily cloned this area.

FYI this image was sent up at 1168x570 pixels at 585 kb's. I had also uploaded the original to my own website and it was nothing liked it looked on BP.

So Idownloaded it from here (there are ways) to check the size, it was 800 x 412 pixels and 134 kb's. The original to the one shown here can be seen HERE

Thank you both Michelle and Brian, we appreciate your encouraging words very much. I had fun editing this one as it was the first pano we had done, I really look forward to doing more.

Hope you approve of this John!

WOW! What a great result for your first try at Panoramas Pat & Graham! I am glad I checked your gallery as I was going to post my pano of the same dam. I like your framing here Pat, but Pano's are worry with the limits imposed on them by BP at the moment! #8145334

Hey John, WOW it is! Didn't it turn out a treat! Thankyou for your advice! The orginal at my gallery is so much nicer, can't say the same for the compressed one at BP. That's a hell of a lot of pixels to lose.

BTW, I uploaded a tiff file just to see, it was converted into a jpeg.

Interesting. I went to your site to look and your two stitched pano, it is is the same size as this one.~Pat #8146444
