Hi all - the first of many (no doubt) from a fantastic weekend in the Hunter Valley. Thanks to Peter for organising such a great weekend




(Click on pics for larger view - joined with Panorama Factory)

They're not great pics, but given the minimal time spent on them so far, I'm reasonably happy. Both of these were from pics taken this morning at Draytons Family Wines.

Not bad at all Sheepie - geeze mate you don't waste time on your PPing and getting images up here...well done!

I might suggest that the next person that starts a thread with images from the Hunter Week end does so with Photos from the Hunter Valley Week end as a topic so that we can just add our photos rather than have a likely zillion and one photos in a zillion threads. Thoughts??

Thanks too go to Peter for organising a truely FANTASTIC week end! The company of all was excellent and so too were the photographic opportunities and time spent with everyone! Bel and I had a GREAT time away!

Don't know if I agree with that - problem with that sort of thread is they become so long that things get lost or not seen.
I reckon one or two threads from each person is still ok - if people don't want to read them it's up to them - I'd rather this than trauling through a huge thread to see what's new There weren't that many of us, so there's not going to be that many threads

These pano's have come up well... Looks like PF did a good job too, least at this size anyway, looks nicely balanced for exposure etc... Assume taken in portrait, what focal length etc., I couldn't seem to get EXIF ... Agree with the individual threads too, fwiw...

Pano factory strips all this unfortunately (which makes sense I guess - which photo's details would you save? ).
They are both with the Kit Lens, handheld. The first is at 50mm, f18 - yes, it's in portrait orientation. The second is at 18mm, f10, landscape.

Still experimenting with all this, and no likelyhood of finding the money for pano heads - so handheld will have to do for now, and am going ok anyway

I have a pano head, but for the odd one I shoot I tend to also hand hold....... nice pix's......
