Hi Howard. Really enjoyed looking at these. It's a Velvia kind of place.
Such a shame it has a minority of folks with extremist violent agendas.
I rather like the Turista and farmer at the end of the super-pano. You might
find that that big print you had in mind is not too expensive to print,
unless you are paying for the ink! I wouldn't like to watch that length of
paper feed through the 3800 though. It is technically possible but that is a
big ask from it. One of the pro model printers with roll capability and more
robust feed arrangements would be better.
I keep hearing than that 24 is awesome on the M8 or film M's. You've shown
that again. Sigh, there goes the credit card balance again.

Cheers
Geoff

Subject: [Leica] Bali Pictures - Rice terrace and temple panos

Hello Luggers,
I am back from Bali and here are a few pictures taken during our time  
there. The internet connections were very slow
and expensive so I didn't try to upload any photos while we were  
there. The panos were taken mostly with the M8 - although
there is one 10 panel pano with Esther's G9 - the stitch program on  
the G9 is very handy. The panos were taken using the Novoflex
pano head which helps takes the guess work out of matching the panels  
and photoshop CS 2 did the rest.


This rice farmer made more money from posing for tourists than  
harvesting rice, I think.
He belongs to the National Geographic red shirt school of photography.

And here is a 10 panel pano of the tegallallang terraces taken with  
Esther's G9. I panned from
right to left and didn't realize there would be the rice farmer and a  
Japanese tourist with
a Leica Digilux in the last left panel. On my 24" I Mac this is a  
really impressive image and would print out to
perhaps 8 feet long by about two feet wide. I think I need to visit  
the Epson demo store and try it on the 3800.

Here is a 5 panel pano of the Taman Ayun Temple on the road to  
Bedugal in the Mountains. The Temple
is nominated as a Unesco Heritage site and was the best cared for  
temple that we have seen in Bali

And here are the rice terraces at Bedugal - not as impressive as  
Tegallallang - but pretty
enough. Taken with the M8 and the Elmarit 24 from the terrace of the  
restaurant where we
stopped for lunch.

And lastly here is the sea scape from the Uluwati monkey temple.  
Watch out for the monkeys!
They tried to steal my camera bag filled with Leica lenses!
