Thanks (think you mean #84). Must try and learn different things to try to move to next level. Anyway this is the first time I was using one of those bubble levellers (the cheapo $10 kind, so keeping in a small plastic bag in case it starts leaking like one of those horror stories Kit told us). Very useful at least in keeping the horizontal straight and I managed to get a nice panorama pix in early also!

Thanks man!..I tried the ballhead attached to the carbon fibre TA. It was good!!..I'm so 'convinced'! hehe..but the combo price is too steep for me now yes i will definitely get the ballhead, soon I hope

Hey thanks for the comments. Actually #82's cropped photo was a result of #80 and a couple of other photos which have too much "blank" area - had I left it as is, the bottom portion would have been a big black area.

Yeah, agree #80A is better... after looking at it a bit more, #80B looks like I missed the spotlight of the sun on the boat. I might have tried a square crop (something I've been playing around with recently) for the photo, that might have worked too).

apologies, was refering to 81 about the horizon placement. yeah a square crop would work for 80A

Haha. I think we were both talking about #81 but somehow called it #82.

#87 - Parkview

own thoughts: Ooookay, this is a bit too straight...

#88 - the one where I pretended to be packing while LE was still going on, after being chased out by guard.

Just shoot with PP at home in mind :sweat:
Used PTGui to straighten things but still not very good at it. I think I'm still doing something wrong...

Bro, nice shots.

One note, especially in #88, after you adjust for verticals, sometimes you will find that some of the pictures get a little distorted in scale (the column is too thin). You might want to consider using scale transform in PS to see if you can scale it back to normal.

Ah okay... I think this is the missing link that I am looking for. Thanks for pointing me to the right direction :thumbsup:

Yes, they look very unnatural after adjustments :sweat:

Something is wrong with #87 also, but I haven't quite figured out... what??

Thanks! it's a nice shot

Thanks! it's a nice shot

It was taken from overhead bridge, quite a few people like this also. I think the perspective from the higher ground is what makes it different I tried to get the tree from left to right as much as possible, and using an ultra-wide (10-24mm) already. The IR shot makes the contrast of the various items stand out, which was a bonus I didn't expect when I first took the picture but tried to enhance during post processing.
