Thank you. Actually, this was just before sunset looking east.Birma wrote:That's beautiful Henry. Lovely (dawn?) colours, and a great vista stretching from the hills down to the city. That would make a great web page heading
I made this panorama from the lanai of the condo we rented in 2007. The first few days my wife was afraid to even go out on the lanai and wouldn't even approach the windows.springm wrote:Really impressive. Great details in a wonderful soft light, and you really transport the feeling standing high up and beeing able to turn the head without limits.
She had a bit of vertigo in the beginning and insisted that the curtains be closed so that she couldn't even see out. The first day she was convinced that the floor was not level and in fact it slanted down hill toward the lanai. I finally took my can of shaving cream and put it on the floor to show her it didn't roll down hill. After a few days she was fine and could even go out on the lanai. The lanai for that condo was pretty large -- maybe about 100-120 square feet (10-11 square meters) so I spent a lot of time out there. We lived there for 6 months.Thank you! I rarely make panoramas, just don't think of them, but I was so impressed with the view from the lanai I had to make this one.paulmurphy wrote:Lovely view Henry,
That green open space on the left is the Ala Wai golf course. Also at the end of Waikiki between the buildings you see in the panorama and Diamond Head in the background is the beautiful Kapiolani Park. Also, beach after beach. Other parts of Honolulu also have nice parks.paulmurphy wrote: Is that a park area in the foreground that the houses are heading towards? Hope they keep some open space.
That mountain in the background is Diamond Head. Most of the buildings in Waikiki are not all that new. Most of the highrises were built in the 1960s and 1970s and there are still some old buildings of 1 to 3 stories that were built in the decades before that. On the far right side of the panorama you can see a bit of the old Royal Hawaiian Hotel (aka Pink Palace) which opened in 1927 and is a Waikiki landmark.paulmurphy wrote: I like the contrast of the modern buildings and the ancient mountain
Thanks! I am itching to go out and use it, but I don't want to get the LCD scratched so I am waiting on a new LCD protector. See my posts near the bottom of this thread to see my preliminary results from trying it out:paulmurphy wrote: ps hope the A700 works
That's a very nice shot!bakubo wrote:While I am waiting until I can use my A700 again I thought I would post this panorama I made awhile back.

I am champing at the bit to use it. I feel sort of naked walking around Waikiki without it.jcoffin wrote: I wish you the best on getting your A700 back into use, and look forward to seeing more pictures.
Thank you. Yes, Mauna Kea observatory is on Hawaii, the Big Island. I am on Oahu.Greg Beetham wrote:Nice vista Henry, I was checking the map for where the Mauna Kea observatory is located, it looks like it's on a different Island (Hawaii?) to where you are (Oahu?), high too at over 13,000 ft I think I'd get a vapour lock at that altitude.
