nice, although they don't need the borders.

Got a new lens today, getting a new body on Sunday...should be lots of pictures from me hitting this thread in the next weeks 

 
 

What lens and body?

Got a Nikkor 70-300vr and supposed to met a guy today to buy a D300 to replace my D200. I know the Lens isn't the best but I did some research and it isn't too shabby either...it gets really great reviews, especially for the price ($400). I don't have anything in my kit with reach so I figured until I could afford a 70-200 f/2.8 this would be the next best thing.
 
***EDIT....just got back from buying the new body...this thing is much nicer than my D200...I wasn't expecting as much of an improvement. Very excited.***

Another tone-mapped image, but just barely, to bring out the temple's underbelly. Panorama stitched from 33 images (I think) with no distortion correction. South Korea Hwaseong. Flickr compressed image is 9000 pixels wide.

There's some great shots on this page, thanks KWS and shigzeo!

I think I should have cropped the right side out a little.

I like it better the first way

 

[shigzeo]

Yeah, I was thinking like that, but I'm not sure now. Id like to hear opinions. Not that I'll do it, it killed my poor laptop.

IMO the way you originally had it gives the centerpiece more room to breathe. It's less of a cramped photo and the extra surroundings in the background are nice too. I also think the brown color of the path down the bottom right compliments the photo well with it there.

 

[shigzeo]

Thank you. That is good advice.

Of course that's just nitpicking, but I find those white buildings and sunny stripes on the right side a bit too distracting from the main theme. I would just tune down the highlights in the buildings area and crop a tiny bit at the right side to get rid of the stripes.

Tree is so much that id love to do, but... I think I probably won't. Too much CPU time, really.

As you seem to have shot less than 120° I would have used rectilinear projection, you'll not get blurry sides and it would suit more to this architecture subject by preventing the exagerated distorsion you get here by being close to the wall and little temple.
