Interesting perspective of Broken Hill. You really loose the sense of scale.

Thanks for the compliment.

I recently took this picture along with these two pictures,

pic 2,

while watching the sunset at Point Reyes. Do any of the color

palettes work? Does one work better then the others?

I wish that the Zipper sign was more ledgible. Maybe a little dodging.

 

I have enlarged this picture to 16x20 and had it printed on a lightjet. The print is about the quality of a 645 print enlarged to 16x20. Definetly better then a 35mm image enlarged to 16x20 but not the same as a 4x5. It is also has almost zero noise.

 

Since you can not see it with you own eyes, you may not believe it, but it makes a very good enlargement up to about 16x20.

 

I have printed pictues enlarged to this size from 6x6, 35mm scanned at 4000dpi, and now from the D30. The D30 pictures made from combined shots are more similar to the 6x6 then the 35mm. YMMV.

Do the people detract or add to the photo. Usually I keep people out

of my landscape shots, but I think it adds interest to this shot.

Love the colors. I also agree with the previous posters about the crop. While your at it can you level the horizon.

I find the overlapping trees and mountain on the left unbalance the picture some to my eye, but still a nice photo

I love the colors but - 1) the blue is so intense I thought it was a manipulated 2) the shape in the center of the leaf is distracting. I can't figure out what is causing the shape, and it keeps drawing my attention.

Besides increasing the depth of field it increases the resolution of the final image and increases the field of fiew. With the Canon D30, a 17 mm lens is like a 28mm on 35mm film, so an increased field of view can be useful.

The picture is composed of 4 horizontal shots.

Each shot was focused at a different distance so that the closest and farthest points were kept sharp.

I used panorama tools (free but the best software for this) to join the photos. I used the PTGui interface to panorama tools.

The pictures were just taken with a normal ballhead, instead of one that rotates around the nodal point of the lens, but since there were not near and far objects overlapping it works fine.

Comments and ratings appreciated.

The is interesting, it makes you want to look at it. When I first saw it, I thought it could be special, but then I found myself a little disapointed. I can't tell exactly what it is missing but that is the feeling I got.

Does the crop work? Should the sky be cropped?

Too Dark?

First outing with digital camera, Comments?
