This is a stitch of 4 frames (thrown together with CS2) from my IR-converted PowerShot G3. This is the view from above the falls, looking down to the pond below.

This park is about 40kms north of Toowoomba.

I don't think it is. I think it's a stitching problem, probably caused by the trees blowing around in the breeze. When you're doing panoramas and there's trees, ferns etc moving around you're really going to have a challenging time getting the stitching right. If it's blowing, its probably worth doing multiple sequences and hope that one will have all the foliage lined up OK. I've had most of my panorama experience with Panorama Factory (there's 2 active threads on PF at the moment) and with PF you can often force the joins to be in places that don't have foliage movement. But wind and foliage has to be the bane of a panorama photogs life.

No, that's really embarrassing. :o Not enough sleep when I posted that! The image is cleaned up now.

To take this the camera was simply rested on the guard rail at the edge of the lookout and rotated upwards between shots. No special care was taken in rotating around nodal points, etc.

Dave,

It is an absolute cracker! Not just the stitching technique and the converted camera but also the vision to identify the possiblity and achieve it.

Cheers,

Great image. I forgot I bought an IR filter for my kit lens and I'm certainly going to have a go! :)

Dave, it is ok with IR not that i have had anything to do with it, but it has potential and have seen some nice pics done with it so for something different here has turned out ok. Well done.

A unique perspective on an area I have often visited.
If you swim across the very deep and often cold pool, you access the 'valley of diamonds'. Steep granite cliffs - big boulders etc.
Platypus can be found further downstream as well...
