Panoramas from far north Queensland

[pluto]

These were taken during my trip up north for the eclipse.
These were taken hand-held with my 5DmkII + 24-105L. Stitched in Hugin and finished in PS and Lightroom.
There's more and higher res versions on my blog at www.hughca.com (http://www.hughca.com), I've only posted a few here as it's a bit hard to get big panos into 200k.
Hope you enjoy!

Thanks guys!
I went a bit crazy with the processing on these which gives them almost a tonemapped HDR look although each image in the pano is only a single exposure (the 5DmkII raw is 14bit and around 10-11 stops so one could argue that it has a high dynamic range anyway). I'm not normally into that kind of look, but I quite like how these turned out.

These are really nice, and give quite a unique look at the landscapes. Imagine one of these with a totally eclipsed Sun in the sky... :-)

Number 2 does it for me. :) Great panos Hugh.

I love that one too, I'm thinking of getting it printed and hang it on the wall to commemorate the trip up north for the eclipse. I like that it has my girlfriend in it taking photos as well :-)
