About a month of on and off work, but it was well worth it. Thank you!^^ Congrats, bro - I know that took a ton of time to shoot and put together - turned out great!
What size are you having it printed? And which color version? Just curious... Think I personally like the cooler, more desaturated one you posted last the best.
Would say this would make a nice desktop background, but I don't happen to be running a quad display setup at the moment.
Thank you, too! In a nut-shell, it's an overgrow complex panorama, like you said. Although 0.4gigapixel really isn't that spectacular when compared with some images found here: http://www.autopano.net/en/ (scroll to the bottom).Damn, that looks pretty pro. Are these gigapixel images basically bigger and more cmplex panoroama shots? In a nut-shell?
Thank you. It does take a lot of work, but it's well worth the effort. Start out small, and work your way up! My first pano was made of only 5 pictures!Northrop, those panos are incredible. I wish I had that skill. I'll learn how some day.
Had my D60 for about a week, still shooting in full auto but I'm learning quick.
Here is a shot of Frankie. (First picture post so be kind.)
Sorry just working on link.
Here's some advice I wish someone had given me: Don't use auto, ever, and always shoot in RAW. Yes, it's hard to learn. Yes, there's a learning curve. But once you learn, you will never want to go back, and your pictures will be magnitudes better.
Would you buy a Maserati and never open it up on the open road?

Do you take all pictures with manual exposure/aperature/other things?

Full manual about half the time, aperture priority (and fiddling with exposure compensation and ISO constantly) the other half.
I suppose it makes a bit more sense to do that with a DSLR, especially one as high up the "ranks" as yours. I ahve a Canon SX100 and I mostly shoot in protrait mode as that keeps the ISO at 80 all the time, unlike AUTO where 200 ISO is a bit too noisy. However I think there have been times when I got a pretty good shot by fiddling a bit, though I think that the results of manual control would show more on a DSLR cpmpared to a "compact", not to say that it's not of any use on a resonable compact to sometimes use the manual controls...
Off to a good start! Exposure here looks good, and I like the expression on the dog's face as well as the slight wide-angle distortion. Only gripe would be your toes getting caught in the bottom of the shot. You'll learn to watch out for that kind of thing when using wide-angle fairly quickly.
Auto-mode does have its place. When starting out, snap a couple in auto when you first enter a scene, then look at the histogram and settings the camera used. That will give you an idea what kinds of settings are appropriate for that kind of lighting etc. Then you can switch over to manual and tweak the settings to perfect the shot. After a while you'll be able to just look at a scene and know what settings to start at. The great thing about digital photo is you have tons of room for trial and error. Don't be afraid to shoot dozens of photos of a given shot to see what works best. Auto-mode is a great way to meter the scene if you're in a hurry or just feeling lazy, just don't quite there - keep practicing, and you'll be turning out great exposures in no time.
btw, I shoot in manual about 85% of the time, shutter priority for fast moving subjects when I don't have time to set up the rest of the manual stuff, and auto for those rare cases when I'm feeling too lazy to meter my exposure properly or in an extreme rush.
Way back in the day when all I had was my Powershot, I got beautiful images out of its portrait mode. I almost never went into manual with it...it just wasn't worth it.
I made the comment that I did because Bluefish mentioned that he took his picture with a Nikon D60, a camera which could really come to life with mastery of the manual side.
Do you take all pictures with manual exposure/aperature/other things?
I almost always shoot in aperture priority and adjust ISO and exposure compensation as necessary.I do, pretty much 99% of the time.

Very occasionally I'll switch to manual for unusual exposures. I find it slows me down to shoot in manual otherwise, and I don't get much out of it compared to aperture priority.
What mode do you guys normally shoot in?
A, M, S in that order. with S being used the least, and A the most. Never used P mode, or Auto, or anything like that. I like to have as much control as i can. otherwise, i might just get a P&S.I almost always shoot in aperture priority and adjust ISO and exposure compensation as necessary.

EDIT: What camera did you take those shots with, "teatime0315"?
Haven't been outside with the camera for two weeks. This is definitely one of my top 5 pix i have taken. I should probably crop the horizontal lines a little bit to make it seem wider and get rid of that fence plank near the bottom.

I'm really impresed by the pictures, any post-processing?
Did you use a gradinet filter on the mountain water fall pix? Really cool how it's perfectly exposed from foreground to background and razor sharp (guessing that's due to slow F stop)
