Thanks for your thoughts, Greg.
I'll definitely be looking to do lots of panoramas in the Kimberley's and I'm already comfortable with the process for that. I usually use a tripod but curving can definitely be a problem if there's lot of straight lines.
I use AutoPano Pro for creating the panoramas. It's fantastic. Really easy to use and very powerful.
Ken mentioned last week that he may have some Phase 1's available that I can use.. now that would be interesting. I have ZERO experience with medium format cameras. And I think my laptop would die at the thought of processing them
