I initially drove up this hill and saw this view in the rear view mirror and thought, that looks mad with the layers of residential housing then the steel works and finally the hills.
I then spent 15 minutes trying to get the right view without powerlines and trees etc in the way, even so, I had to clone out a bunch of power lines in the way.. 🙁

Layer upon layer… great composition and execution Gerard!
How long have you had that lens? It seems to be working beautifully.
+Gerard Blacklock Great shot Gerard, B&W is perfect.

less than 24 hours.. and it is not mine 🙂 I begged and borrowed from +Rodney Campbell since my 300mm was just not long enough…
I gotta say its a great lens… two downsides to it though… very heavy and big and teh zoom ring operates in reverse.. but its nice and sharp.. and a zoom (which I am not used too 🙂 )
Cheers +Chris Sutton yeah i was playing with a desaturated view, but I did have my heart set on BW when I took it 🙂
fantastic! 🙂
Ah, he's a good man, letting your play with it!
It would take some getting used to with the reversal. I get tricked if I swap between Sonya (Sony A7) and Nikki as things are opposite on them also.
thanks +Christele Alonso
true +Alison Christensen , by the time I finished with it today I was pretty well used to it 🙂
No need to give it back then 😉
beautiful, nice photo..magnetic angle..lovely..
Good style work, nicely shot… beautiful B & W photo!
Definitely an interesting shot! Great photo! Thanks for sharing!
+Gerard Blacklock amazing photo!
You deserve a cookie!
u could not pay me enough 2 live there. sad.
But for the cars, I'd say this looks like a photo taken about a century ago.
Great idea, and well executed mate!
Great work………………..

Awesome!
Pretty sweet Gerry – I also had some fun doing some more tele landscape shots when I first got it. I remember my first trip down to my parents on the coast and stopping at a few places to do some aerial long shots down the coast.
It is pretty big and heavy tho – and sticks out a lot when zoomed out to 500mm – so it's not really a walkaround lens (more a drive around lens :))
Awesome Panoramic Shot of this Industrial Scene!!
Love this shot +Gerard Blacklock! Great positioning of the steam stacks & I love how the escarpment towers in the background!
+Alison Christensen

Thanks +jo Williams , I tried to join that community but it had some error.. I will look again later.
Thanks +Amanda Moore
+Rodney Campbell definitely a drive around lens… my arms hurt after 5 minutes lol.
There is alot of great spots down the coast there, I am a fan of the long lens landscapes, makes stitching panos lots easier too 😉
Thankyou +History LVr
Thanks +Tom Testone , yeah it's a great area down there, you can compose shots with the sea hills and cliffs all in the one shot…
Very nice and unique Pano!!
Looks great in B+W too!!
Thanks +Clint Burkinshaw
