They were all hand held except for Hanauma Bay & Fanning Island. Those 2 were done on a Tripod using a home made Panoramic Rig.

Handheld! Any tips on how to get those results. Those are amazing pictures on their own, but the fact that they were handheld, they go up a notch.

How many pics is the diamondhead pic?

Absolutley beautiful, gorgeous colors, thanks for sharing

Very nice shots. You seem to have the hang of it...

I have nothing to say about these shots, except...............
Hot Damn!

Wow, I love these panos. On average, how long do they take?

G'day All,

Its great to see so many people enjoying my shots. To answer the questions posted thus far.

The panoramic taken from Diamond Head was roughly 6 photos stiched together. In total for this photo I shot around 24 photos. This gives me 4 photos to choose from for each frame of the panoramic. This way I can choose the frames that align the best to use in the panoramic.

The time it took to complete the panoramics was around 3-4 hours each (from start to finish). The ones that caused me the most grief was the Hanauma Bay shot (this was 9 photos and had lots of people moving around in it). And the waterfall shot, as in some of the frames I almost didn't have enough overlap to stich them.
