the edge of the wasteland

gus

Long week-end so i packed up the humunguses & took off up the beach

Yesterday morning looking straight at Chile



eventually found somewhere decent to pitch the tent




the only visitors




sand dune flowers...not touched with PS, they are just really bright




got a bit of dune toboganing in





ok...im a climber so i needed to get the top photo of the beach & this looked like a climber friendly tree



& about 6 seconds after this shot...a branch broke & i landed on the cods, still walking funny.



plenty of these fella's around ..they will just walk up to your camp & climb on your table & you better not disagree !



native flower




ruler of the wastelands self portrait



now here is my problem....i tried to get a panorama going & stuffed it...i have the 2 originals & was wondering if anyone recons they would like to try & fix this mess up..PM me or apply here & i will send the 2 originals for someone to have a go at doing it properly...thanks

Never done panorama stitching or I'd offer to help. If no one else does, I'll take a stab at it.

Those are some of the best photos you've posted here. that sunset is goregous. But your beach, camel, shade, flower and sand shots are also great.

Nice work.

ta mate but to see a sunset over water i would have to travel 3000 miles west..

that shot is looking straight at south america

those camels stink BTW

gus

here is another one of the same sunrise...the colour changes in seconds...you dont have time to be foolin' with batteries or cards

Mr. RotWL,

I have to agree with Waxy... Those are some of the best shots you've posted here! Keep up the good work

I'm rather fond of this one. Great shot.

'mongoose, I've read up on stitching photos for a panorama. Since no-one else has raised their hand, could you send me the piccies so I can take a stab at putting them together?

Did you overlap between shots? I'm learning that doing so is the key.

ta mate but i got a PM & someone is working away at my mess...i usually just use my olympus prog which works very well but i just stuffed up when i swung the camera.

Here is a little bay we stopped at for a swim...bad stitching but its hard to do with out any points of ref on the horizon

coppers booking someone on the beach...they sit there with laser radar. (speed limit is 50 mph but you see people at over 70) Most get booked for riding in the back of the ute as these were, a quickly diminishing ozzie passtime.

If that's the 'edge of the wasteland', then this must be the middle! Actaully, I've never posted a stitched pic before and I'm not sure about the sizing. So this is just a test. Hope it turns out o.k.

Ill have a look to see Quigs...its not a great shot so i think i may have canned it. My prog is good but it works with the camera but when i cant ref something on the horizon...i stuff the overlap up.

You can tell its winter or the shiela would have had her skirt off.
