    Smile Went to the Gold Coast for the weekend...

    Had a weekend at the Marriott in Surfers Paradise.
    The weather was REALLY crappy but I took a few night shots from our 25th level room looking north.

    Here is a 6 shot panorama stitched together with PTGui. Exposure was 8sec@ f/11 with the zoom set at 20mm.

    Click on the small pic to see the full size image (1.7MB file)

    Cheers

    Great shot MP Not bad at the Marriott is it? Did you get to have a swim with the fish or was the weather too cold?

    The Marriott is a real break on its own, great place. You can swim with the fish and they have little motorised things that pull you along its great. You can see the fish up real close and go deep down if you want but I stayed up near the surface. Don't like all that water above me.

    Yeh Marriott certainly would break me $$$$$$

    Oh the comments come rushing in but I won't

    Swim with the fish you do know what fish do in water and we teach children not to play in toilets

    Thanks all for looking

    clubbyr8,

    PTGui is easy to use in wizard mode & then you have all the options in advanced mode, dead set, it's just a great bit of software. It will also do HDR panoramas as well.
    Cheers
