That's pretty amazing. Your Bora Bora gallery is my favorite from your recent trip.

Arghhh, the one time I got one as good as yours (well, maybe not technically), you posted before me. I have dibs on the sunset :)

[cruzegirl]

Great article. I saved that one....

Dave,

I am going to Tahiti in October.... Will you give me some suggestions to get great shots while there? I'm still playing with my camera to get used to it...... lol.......

The Bora Bora sunset is yours, my friend! :D

It was the trip of sunrises and sunsets!

Where in the Tahiti group are you going? papaeete (Mexihiti) was unimpressive, but we would return to Bora Bora for more than a casual visit.

 

As for "playing" with your camera...I used to call that "practice"!;)

 

Hang in there and have fun with it!

Dave,

We're going to Tahiti and then staying on Moorea for 3 nights. I asked for a room with a sunset view:D .. We'll see how that works out....lol.... We'll be going to Bora, Bora, Moorea again, Huahine, Rangiroa and Raiatea. So lot's of sunset opportunities. For me, the world will stop for sunsets....lol.... Luckily, the crowd I'm with feels the same way.....

Sounds like a wonderful itinerary!

 

I do have a bit of news that may excite or depress you, depending on you sleep habits...sunrises are beautiful too and the world is already pretty much stopped at that time of day! :D

 

Whichever end of the day you end up seeing, have a wonderful trip and take pictures!

Dave,

I'll leave the tropical ones for you and post one from Sailing Away from Sydney instead. :)

Dave,

I think you figured out something about me already.....lol.... I don't do "early"...... Though I did get some good shots during the Panama Canal transit. And I was the one up early. Everyone else stayed in bed for another hour. But I had my spot..lol....

Will be up I'm sure for at least one sunrise. Especially with the time difference the first day or two. And I will take alot of photos. I'm considering a 3rd memory card:eek: But between diving and all the other shots, I may need it....lol....

Sheila,

there's no photo there! :(

Here's one of Sydney Harbor as we were 'finally' beginning our cruise. Probably needs resizing but I just wanted to get one up tonight...more next time

Pierces, your panoramas are really beautiful. The horizons are perfectly straight and undistorted. What zoom did you use for the individual shots? How many shots are in each image? Thanks in advance!

Thank you!

 

Almost all were taken hand-held with my Minolta 28-75 f/2.8 at the wide end. They range from 3-7 images with the camera set on manual exposure to keep the exposure even. The panos were made using the free Autostitch utility, straightened (if needed) and touched up in PS.

 

Here's a 7-shot sunset that has a native 3000x18000 resolution.

 

 

The horizon needs a bit of touch-up, but it came out pretty straight.

 

now I need to find someone that can print at 10" x 60"!:D
