This is a Great Blue Heron rookery consisting of 7 pix, though cropped on the L & R borders.
7D, 100-400 held vertically, f16, 1/200, ISO 500 at 100mm....C&C encouraged.

Bill, that's a beautiful photo. A pano with a 100-400? Impressive [H]
On my screen at least it's underexposed, brighten it up and add some contrast and you should be good
thanks Brendan....yeah,this copy isunderexposed. My orig is fine, the exposure changes when I transfer to flickr....?????
This lens is on my camera 90% of the time when I'm outside....it's versatility can't be beat, but w/that said; I'd like to see Canon put out a MKll w/a fixed f4.

Nice. I like the mood set by the color, and the composition. I like how the trees (twigs?) are balanced in the frame. My only nit would be that the horizon seems a little crooked. If so, it can be fixed.
Sad, if true. It implies that the only reason for the 400 DO is that it is a 400mm f/4, and has nothing to do with it having DO. If so, why don't they make an ordinary 400mm f/4 prime?
I'm sure they know what they are doing... just seems like a gap to me.
Normally DO would be a nice addition, but the 400 f/4 is now $1000 more expensive and produces uncontrasty and unsharp images wide open; and many photographers stop it down, effectively wasting $4500. A normal, 400 f/4 prime with IS for $3000-3700 would be my next lens in a heartbeat. I'm still dreaming.
They're all trees in various states of decomposition Jon....giving the swamp, along w/the fog that morning, a very primordial feel.
I put the grid on my original pic Jon and had to do a little balancing of the H & V lines....the trees, used in the rookery, are relatively straight which only allowed a little ccw straightening, but it did make a nice difference....thank you.
I really had been concentrating on the trees....always good to have some "fresh" eyes' opinion.
Nice shot(s) Bill! I kinda like the dark feel about it. It looks a bit like the "haunted swamps" in some movies. I like the foggyness. Makes the picture more interesting. I still want to see your original exposed image though before you put it online. I'd like to see the difference.
The only flaw I see is the horizonlevel that's all, but that has been said already.
Nice one. It never really occurred to me to make a panorama with a tele-lens, don't ask me why because I don't see the logic either [:P]

Can't get the full appreciation of this image on the web. Would be great to see full size in a print or on canvas to appreciate this technique. Ive got a 900 hundred dollar 360precision pano head with the PTGui software where I wish I had the urgency to do more with it. From time to time I get hired to do 360 degree interior shots from resorts where they turn out pretty good. I don't do the editing on them where they get sent to Australia for processing. I need to learn how to do the additional up view and the down view to get the true 360 stitch.
Very nice job Bill, I like it a lot, spooky. I believe all photos should tell a story and this is one you just want to ask more questions about.
