Fish River Canyon, Namibia

Sunset over Fish River Canyon, Namibia - the second-deepest canyon in the world, after America's Grand Canyon.


3-shot panorama, taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II and Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II using the shift function.

Wonderful light! Sounds like an awesome adventure...

Amazing color. Great capture!

Nice Pano.

Its just a touch over-saturated (maybe just my monitor?), but a great shot none-the-less. Nice work!

I love this one! I especially love the brilliant hues of the sunset juxtaposed against the similar hues of the foreground landform. It's also a great use of the TS-E 24mm to create a perfect pano, it's a perfect lens for landscapes.

Shadowblade's saturations sliders go to eleven. Somehow it usually works for him though. I'm with you MNUplander, oversaturated or not, it's still a breathtaking capture!

Nice, but oversaturated. If you do this with the saturation, a B&W conversion may work well. But to leave it color makes it look unnatural and I don't care for that.

I used to shoot Velvia 50 and Cibachrome in the film days, so anything else looks undersaturated to me

I know it doesn't work for everyone, though, particularly those who don't primarily shoot landscapes.

I think its a stunning shot, and wouldnt change a thing, print and hang on the wall, great work!!!

Great capture. Another wall hanger. KUDOS.

nicely framed

Awesome. How do you connect the shots when you do panorama?

I use a bracket to hold the lens still to avoid parallax errors caused by moving the lens: http://www.hartblei.de​/en/canon-tse-collar.htm

I then use the shift function to move the image sensor across the 67mm image circle - these shots align near-perfectly, since the sensor remains on the same plane between all the shots and parallax has been eliminated by moving the sensor, rather than the lens.

The only misalignment I get is due to some give in the lens mount, which is particularly annoying when the misalignment is rotational rather than translational. IMO Canon really needs to machine these parts to tighter tolerances.

That bracket looks awesome! But it looks tough to buy in if you're in the US....

If/when I get a TS-E lens I'll have to drudge one up!

Nice work by the way, very well done!
