My first go at a Panograph

[AJSLRD]

Lazy sunday afternoon, armed with my D80 and the antique tripod (salvaged from an industrial waste many years ago) decided to take some test shots and make a Panorama. I have not used Photoshop much before (good job I have a daughter that has) she helped, showing me layers and I figured out the rest.

I learnt that I need to make a leveling plate so it is easier to get the tripod level, I was thinking of a circular bubble mounted to an aluminium plate fitted so to get the base level then I can pan properly, and I need to make up an 'L' bracket so I can get the lens right over the pivot point.

It was a little grey today had to wait to get some light but I was more interested in the setup and level. My tripod has a 360 Deg. dial which helped in getting each shot.

Very nice, link to a larger picture would be good. I take it this is looking over the Hume weir on the Victorian side?

If you want some ideas on Pano equipment and techniques try these sites:

Thanks for the site links, It is the Hume Weir from the Old Tallangatta - Bethanga lake road this afternoon.

Thought I recognised it! Last time I lived down in Albury I rode my mountain bike across that area. I didn't think it had that much water in it at present.

The Weir is only around 20-25% at the moment, we have had some rain lately we all hope she fills some more before the start of the irragation season.
