Thank you Rupert !

Those pics are wonderful! I love the frames the rendering and your PP makes those flowers really pop out of the screen! You're getting close to 4D effect as times goes by!

Thank you ! I'm confused but time matters

I'm not Ken but I will take a guess that his where he stitched the pano, and those are the 2 slightly distorted UWA edges at the merge point?

This was shot from a 5 storey high carpark, Initially the camera was on tripod but I removed it and placed it as shown in the below pic in order to capture no obstacle ultra wide angle frame. As it's so high level, I dare not risk to shoot hands free on this 1wk old K1, so every shot I'm holding the camera and each shot is about 8-10sec. I shot about 10 shots but more than 50% were blur due to handshake.
As so much effort and time spent I try all means to salvage the work, this is how I select the shots to stitch: 1,2,4,6(moderate blur),8,10(blur), the missing shots are completely cannot make it so they were discarded and luckily the stitching still works but 2 portion are not sharp.


If you noticed the camera is so new that I haven't even put on the strap. Next time I'll reshoot with the strap on and hands free for blur-free shots.

Ken, I figured it was something like that. Better safe than sorry, even if your K1 was easy come, because its never easy go! Those "I Dropped my new K1" make my stomach queasy! Great work as always.

Thanks Eric, your analysis is perfectly correct.

Wonderful shot! He's picking them a little early to store for a cold winter day. They do love to pose for the camera...in particular a K1!

This little girly was looking pretty rough this morning......."What's wrong sweetie, bad night?"

"Squirrels had a big keg party, got drunk , and had a giant squirrel orgy in the woods where I live...I didn't get a wink of sleep!"

Nice stuff Eaglem! Love those colors!

Nice set...the first one is my fav! Excellent!

Time for a little Rupert story this Sat morning.....got to go with the pictures!



I have a family of raccoons that comes around every night, and they have for about 10 years....every year bringing their offspring in the Spring or early Summer. I know them all well, and make sure they always have plenty to eat. A happy raccoon is a non destructive raccoon!

This year one of the cubs is the little runt of the bunch. He has to fight for his share of the food and often gets shoved out of the bunch. He's not dumb and usually comes running to me for a handout, and he gets it. Lately, he has discovered that if he hangs around until daylight (they are very nocturnal animals, seldom seen in daylight) he will get our leftover breakfast food, or at least some treats.
This morning before giving him his meal, I got a few shots of him wandering around the yard. I was barely awake, so they are not the best shots, but you can get a peek at him. Cute little guy and so friendly. These are very intelligent little animals and are all play once they get something in their little bellies. Their little hands are like ours and they can open jars or even doors if they can reach them......fun to watch, fun to shoot!

"I heard something....breakfast on its way?"


"Maybe its down that way?"


"I see the door opening! Breakfast!"


"Great bacon & eggs! Thanks.....see you next time!"


@Eaglem - BTW Squirrels say they will trade you four young raccoons and a bird feeder they stole from a neighbor for Hubble. Same offer goes to @LeRolls for one of his girls.

I told them not to hold their breaths too long hoping for a deal!

Regards!

I really like the pix of the Citroen in movement. Can you crop out the white 'photo' car ? The old Citroen looks like it's moving fast...the way you've captured the image. Very good.
