Mount Stromlo

Vertical Panorama made of around 10 images. It was fairly difficult as i auto focused in each image.
Close up panorama. This one is made with five images for the top half and five for the bottom, making it a very large, very clear image.


Large landscape panorama made from 15 images.



Regular panorama made from 8 images.

Lens Test!

I did a lens test of my 50mm Nikkor lens. All shots are at ISO200 f 2.8 1/125th - No abberation or distortion
f4.0 1/60th - hints of abberation, no distortion


f5.6 1/30th - Tiny abberation, no distortion


f8.0 1/15th - No abberation, no distortion


f11 1/8th - No abberation, no distortion


This result is to be expected with a Prime lens as the optics are much more reliable than a zoom.


This was our lighting set up and test pannels

"Just a quick self portrait"


This was a sneaky exercise by Cam in which he simply told us to take self portraits of ourselves which every one believed were just for the sake of the roll. Unfortunately, it was so Cam could look at our metadata and rat out anyone shooting on auto (i wasn't) and also prove the point that any photo we take shouldn't be rushed as there is a chance potential clients may see them. He stressed that people remember you by your mistakes which is something to consider in the future when throwing any old sloppy shot in the Internet. This was shot with a Nikon D90 although i am now using a D300s. Wish i was a mind reader and put more effort into it!
