Hi all,
Testing out my latest purchase the 14mm Samyang/Rokinon/Pro Optic/Vivitar/Bower/Walimax F/2.8 lens at an old location. This road sign is only a three minute drive away from my house and has featured in a number of my images. I love the uniqueness of it. I have not seen another like it.

Over 180 degree panorama- 10 vertically shooting images
Canon 5D MkII
14mm Lens
F/2.8
ISO 4000
Stitched together in PTGui Pro
I thought I had taken enough data above the Milky Way to avoid the distortion around the Crux region caused by the stitching process but evidentally not.

Wonderful.
What a place to live, so dark and so many options!

LOL -Classic. Very cool shot.

Thank you so much everyone

I'm glad you all like it. Yes I am very lucky to live where I do. I love my dark skies.

Very eye catching - nice work! I'll take the left turn

I see that you're making good use of PTGui...

HaHa. Yeah I think it's left for me too.

Thanks Dave. Loving PTGui Pro so far but I'm still refining what the best settings are for my nightsky panos and still working out what I need to do better in the field to make it easier in post processing.
