catchy topic eh probably not what you expected to see, but since I was at Katoomba on Saturday morning I thought I'd check out the view.

Panorama made from 6 X 85mm - the new (for me) 2nd hand 85mm f/1.4 picked up in Sydney on Friday:




With the 20mm Sigma I made a 6 frame wide (in portrait) pano looking south over the tallest sister:



On Sunday on the way home from mountain biking around Oberon I stopped for a 9 frame wide pano of the Capertee Valley with the 85mm in spitting rain:

The second pano is fantastic. I think you've proved that the blue mountains look best in widescreen

Love the Capertee Valley!

Up until a few months ago I used to cover that area for work, apparently it's one of the largest canyons in the world. Great area for photogs, as you've proven.

I also used to work at Katoomba, and your shots are great. That first pano over the sisters would make a great poster or framed print.

Wel done!!!!!

Beautiful stuff #2 and #3 are my favourites, but they are all nice shots!
(If you don't mind me asking) how much did the 85mm set you back ?
(No, bad lust, Naughty!)
Great shots Gordon!

Thanks for the comments all.

on ebay, $1083. It is in excellent condition, I'll have to buy a hood for it though. The seller reckons he was getting out of film and into digital so he didnt need fast lenses any more! That doesnt make sense to me
He had a whole stack of other Nikon gear for sale, including a very nice 28mm f/1.4... but since I have a 30mm f/1.4 I avoided the temptation

Gordon his loss is your gain,

For me the 2nd pic is fab...
