Glacial Panoramas

I took an awful lot of photos that day at the glacier. I feel ashamed in a way. There were squillions of people and heaps and heaps of camera nerds. Camera nerds require their own category. I mean, having a little hobby and a blog is one thing, walking around with two DSLRs and a compact is another. It was pretty insane. And kind of intimidating. I would love to know how many of those camera nerds just had awesome cameras because they could afford them and they really just use them as a point and shoot, or how many of them were really serious photographers. Surely if you were a fair-dinkum serious photographer, you wouldn't be on the same paths as literally thousands of other people, surely you would be going for the unique shot...

Anyway, end rant. I took an awful lot of photos that day. Mainly because the place was so huge I had to take panoramas to fit them all in! This is quite challenging when you have to deal with people and no tripod. Still, here are the results
The Southern Wall. Canon EOS 50D f/13, 1/640, ISO 200, 18mm. Five portrait orientations stitched together.

Canon EOS 50D f/8, 1/800, ISO 200, 18mm. Now, if you were a fair dinkum pro, would you be down on that boardwalk? I don't think so, you would be up a tree.
