True Blue Darling by Linz550

A true water reflection (not photoshopped) of Darling Harbout at dawn blue hour. This harbour is very sheltered and quite still without a breeze very early in the morning.

Hammersmith Bridge by Fred_AM

COVERT HARASSMENT – PLEASE READ the campaign of harassment continues – there is clearly someone covertly contacting my 500px followers and peddling sufficient untruths to persuade noticeable numbers of people to unfollow me. All the evidence strongly suggests that this is the very same person who plagiarised one of my pictures in every possible detail and submitted it to competitions and magazines, and harassed me with unilateral abuse and threats by email over 15 months until they were informally and then formally warned for harassment by the Metropolitan police. The covert phase of this harassment seems to have started in at around the time of these warnings in Feb March 2015 – assuming I am correct, this deeply untruthful and unpleasant individual (eg. they stated that they had “sorted me out” to their Facebook followers in the wake of receiving a formal police warning) has now been targeting me in one way or another for 18 months. The pattern of unfollows suggests that this person has been in action over the last 24 hours. No need to say anything other than to comment on the above picture (if you so feel inclined) if you haven’t been contacted by this self-evidently unhappy individual. If you have been contacted, I’m all ears obviously so please message me privately with discretion 100% assured. Thanks all for your continued support.

House and Hanger by Linz550

A very unique juxtaposition of two of Australia’s most popular icons.

Taken midway through blue hour there was still a strong golden hour element shining through up from the horizon.

An Undistorted View by Linz550

D800 | 24mm | 30s | f/13 | ISO 200. A 800Mb TIFF file (2mb compressed for the web) panorama stitched from 9 panels (3 x 3 rows). I could have shot a single 24mm exposure but getting both bridge pylons in the frame would have been a challenge. Using the 14-24mm lens I could have shot this from 14mm and upwards that would definitely have included both pylons but distortion becomes a factor at lower focal lengths.

Panoramic shooting affords you greater flexibility in terms of both horizontal and vertical fields of view and allows for good control of distortion dependent on focal length and degree of rotation.

Super Fisheye Panorama by Linz550

D800 | 14mm | 30s | F/8.0 | ISO 50. A 4Gb TIFF file (compressed to 8Mb jpg) panorama stitched from 24 frames, 8 by 3 rows. It is fisheye because the panoramic head was rotated 180º. The curvature of the submerged foreground steps gives this away.
