A Couple Of Australia Day Panoramas
Posted: Sat Jan 30, 2010 8:55 am
January 26th is/was Australia Day.
The National Birthday is a Public Holiday and traditionally the end of the Summer school vacation period for the kids. In my part of the country (in the bush) our town has a family day by the river. It normally has attractions for the kids, local arts and crafts as well as general public information stalls etc, it is a picnic type of day for families.
As some may remember I did a "Snake Pit" panorama at the same event in 2008 and thought if it was a nice day I would have another go at it using my newly acquired Roundshot Seitz VR Head on top a Velbon monopod with a NNR1 Panohead, it was clear a sky and 37 Degrees Celsius so off we went.
Camera: Canon 5DMKII, Lens: Tokina 10-17mm Zoom Fisheye (shaved) at 12mm (4 Shots)
Warning: Pano's have sound (prepare yourself).

Also this year the Rubber Duck races were back to raise money for local charity. You sponsor a duck and should it cross the finishing line first via river current, second or third you were in the running for a prize. Just a bit of fun.

If you spot any issue's please point them out, I'm sick of looking at them. As you all know you can be too close to see the obvious sometimes.
