Ya, the long ones
Thats easy with a digital camera. There is a pararama mode which you flick it into and then you take one shot, move the camera slightly to the right and take the next shot, continue untill you have all the ones you want. Then you throw it one your compute and the program I got with the camera can automatically stitch them into one shot. The I have to crop the top and bottom so that there are no black bits and its done.
The first one is 4 'square' shots stitched together and the seccond one is 5

I'm going to put my amazing sunset photo I took in here. See the angel in the middle? And the 'phantom plane' on the left and the boomerang on the right?

I was astonished when this was developed and think it's just so beautiful! And so Australian. What do you reckon White?

 

[CherylNMO]

Wow!!!!! I feel like I've just been to Australia! All of those pics are great!


Thanks to all of you who posted pics! I hope to see your country someday.

Good shot Bev I love it.

Hope you dont mind but I took it and fiddled with it a bit. All I did was hack off a bit of the ground to fit with what is called the 'Golden Ratio' (the sky should fill either the to 1/3 or the ground should cover the bottom 1/3) I also took out some of the 'noise' you get when you put pictures onto a computer so it is a bit clearer.

Here is the edit. (All that said, the origional was an awesome shot and there wasn't a lot I could do to make it any better )

White!!! That's FANTASTIC!!!!! Thankyou!!!!

The Kookaburra sure is amusing to hear!! I about nearly died laughing when I heard what it sounds like!!

Bev, it sounds like you are the expert on Australia.

See you around!

BTW, I made it though all of 19 pages here. *whew* Beautiful pics!

what browser are you using Tavvie? I'm using Mozilla Firefox 1.0, but that shouldn't knock out the sound effects from that site.

That's weird....

 

[Tavita]

Yeah, I use Mazilla too. But I have Explorer as well, so I might give that a try...

 

[Bevlina]

What! You've gotta be joking! The Kooka's are there laughing as plain as can be!
Hey! I just checked it and they nearly deafened me!

 

[loribee59]

It doesn't work on Firefox, but it sure worked on IE. Be sure you have IE 5.0 or higher

Man, those kookaburras' laugh sure are loud and obnoxious! ROFL

[Tavita]

I checked it out on Explorer and sure enough I heard the kookaburra's too!

 

[Bevlina]

There you go Tav's!! That's why I have it as my home page on Explorer! Love the dear old Kooka's. There's quite a few around here. If you hear 2 laugh together, it's a sure sign of rain.

 

[loribee59]

kinda hard to tell how many were there on the homepage. it sounded like it was a LOT of birds! LOL

how can you tell it's 2 or 5?
