Haydn Dare's picture

Narrow Mountain Road

This is a photo that I took last year on Mt Donna Buang in Victoria, Australia. This area and the surrounds are just beautiful and it always makes me so happy to be out there!

Shot on a Canon 5D Mark IV with a Canon 85mm f/1.4 IS

The photo was shot as a vertical panorama with seven photos.

Great photo

Thank you so much!

7 shots! Assuming you were rotating the camera up, did you have any distortion that you had to edit out or did the trees stay straight. I usually stitch wide angle shots together and those lenses have a lot of distortion if not perpendicular to the lines.

There was no distortion issues when putting this photo together, I use telephoto focal lengths for all my panoramas and I've never had an issue! I very rarely use my wide angle lenses for this exact reason.

If I want a wide photo, I just make a much bigger panorama with a telephoto lens, it takes a lot longer but the results pay off.

Very nicely done!

Great job, Haydn! Majestic, inspiring, and flawless execution. Haven't seen your work before, and looking at your portfolio, it's stunning, with a signature "look", a bit cool, dark & subdued, that I find enormously appealing. Hope to see more from you.

As a fellow Melburnian, you make me want to visit these spots! I've concentrated on the west coast, Otways & Grampians, but I'll have to spend more time in the east, I can see.

Thank you so much! I've been spending a lot of the past year up near the Queensland border, but I can't wait to come back and explore more of the Otways and the Grampians.

The east is just beautiful, it's really a part of Australia that the rest of the world is missing out on.

well done Haydn did you consider dropping a grad from top in post just to keep your eye from wandering out since the open sky is brighter than the fog...plus it will make it moodier

Yours has that grad look, Joseph! ;-)

yeah it was just a thought :)

Oh I like this! I'll have a bit of a play around with it at some point!
