Thanks Will, much appreciated. I imagined you'd first stitch the images, then process a whole pano in LR or photoshop... so interesting to hear that you do some processing on the initial images before stitching.

Impressive. I particularly like the 'desert ones' (although I've nothing against Brum :wink

Re: the distortion issue - when you stitch panos together like this do you correct for distortion *before* sticking them into microsoft ice (or whatever software you use) i.e. by using lightroom lens profiles? [I'm just fishing for workflow advice for this sort of thing ]

Great varied set. Lots of merit to them all, but #3, #4 and the first night shot particularly grab me

What lens/grad filter combo did you use for #3?

Really interesting set

As they say the toucan shot is just great - unusual angle! All good captures but IMHO the penguin and Rhea shots are mighty fine.

Forgot to mention that I'm increasingly impressed by the K5. It's ability to pull detail from shadows is pretty incredible - I don't think I'll be using NDgrads again!!
As someone currently wrestling with high dynamic range situations and a 'should I invest in decent ND grads' dilemna, that's a really really interesting observation. But potentially highly troublesome for the bank balance .

Thanks for the encouragement and positive comments, much appreciated. And it's always interesting when different people pick out different photographs from a set - although whether it's good news or bad is a moot point

Wonderful sharp captures of some impressive machinery, and the colours are rendered brilliantly. Mostly the 21 Ltd... ? Once again, you've shown what a corking lens it is.

All crackers .

For me the pick is #3 - love the angle of the bird you've captured , and the blurred reeds/water in the background give great context.
