Panoramas from far north Queensland

[pluto (Hugh)]

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, I've only posted a few here as it's a bit hard to get big panos into 200k.
Hope you enjoy!

Very nice Hugh, love the saturation and contrast.

Great shots, Hugh. We are heading home today after two weeks in North Qld. A special part of Australia.

Some nice pano's - like #3 the best

[pluto (Hugh)]

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 :-)
