Emancipation Park Panoramic Picture

My first panoramic trial and error pictures were of Kingston harbour, decided to try another panoramic shot but this time of Emacipation Park which as I said in a previous posts is one of my favourite locations currently to get my newbie photography action on.

Emancipation Park evening pano

My friends think it’s dark but I like the lighting in the shot, the sky and the park lights which were just coming on in the evening.

Speaking of emancipation park I have been having almost daily photo sessions with birds at the park. I have watched them fight, bathe and hunt worms. It seems that spring is in the air and the birds are out in their numbers. I have already posted a few on my flickr page but expect an update here and a few of my better shots as soon as I find the time to sort through them all.



Panoramic Photography Trial and Error

February 7, 2008 | Filed Under General, Jamaica, panoramic | 6 Comments 

I was inspired by Marc’s panoramic shot called “Mountain View” earlier this week and I took it upon myself to try and create a panoramic shot of my own. Yesterday was Ash Wednesday and I was home with very little to do and a really bad cold. In the evening I grabbed my sister and a couple friends and went on a little “mini photography tour” of sorts in a section of Kingston Harbour behind the housing scheme that I live in. I took close to a hundred photographs, some awful, some bad, some good and a couple that were great! I’ll bee adding those 4 by 4 to my flick account over the next couple days.

The main reason I went there though was to try my hand at a panoramic shot and below you have the result. I have received a few pointers from trained eyes on how to improve the quality of my shots and I will be back at the same spots hopefully over the weekend to try another time armed with what I have learnt.
