Sydney Harbour Sunrise Panorama - My First Pano

[ShauningtoN]

Hey all, Heres a shot that I did a few weeks ago when visiting Sydney on my way to the sunny gold coast. It was shot at sunrise (as i shot one at mid day the day before and was unhappy with the amount of tourists cluttering the shot)

This is the first proper panorama that I've done, so I'd love your guidance or any C&C you have. I plan on getting this printed fairly large as a thank you to my Aunty, who is madly in love with sydney, as she was kind enough to accomodate me during my stay.

I'm a bit disapointed that the opera house isnt well lit, but I couldn't do too much about that.

Looks good, although the watermark might be a bit much.
:lol:

hahaha ive seen lower res images pop up in reject/$2 shops on dodgy canvas :P

I'm sure it's a fantastic image, but as previously said, the watermark utterly kills it.
I know folks are worried about image misuse, but it's impossible to appreciate or fully comment when the WM is so vast and intrusive.

I agree that the watermark utterly kills the image. I can see that you might be worried about piracy but, why share an image that has been ruined.

I cannot be sure, but the image gives me the impresion of being tilted down at the right side. maybe it's because the Opera House gives such weight to the pano.

Yea, resize your watermark, you have a stunning image there :) Show it off!!!

[ShauningtoN]

Fixed.
EDIT: resized and sharpened the non watermarked one and it looks pretty funky(neither soft nor sharp, just odd), I hope its not 'ruined' for you. :P

^^ Looks fantastic! Nice capture. I like the way it is lit.

Nice!

Great work. How many images did you stitch together to make the final image?

[ShauningtoN]

Thanks very much guys! I'm glad you like it. The stitch was 12 in total, shot on a 50D.

I took a few at various stages of the sunrise, but i really liked this one, in particular the yellow beaming on the bridge

I like it. Seem like a beautiful place to get some amazing photos.

[ShauningtoN]

Thanks very much, it certainly is!
