I journeyed for days and nights to finally reach the oasis that lay between the death that is…
well kinda of , I did walk a really really really long way and all there was sand and more bloody sand:) I did however fall back in love with a old lens of mine, one which has been neglected for many a year now, relegated to the bottom of the bag or the box of photographic stuff, which is actually remarkably small π This is the Nikkor 105mm f2.5 lens, I always forget what a joy it is, so very sharp and punchy and in such a small form factor, in recent times I have been swayed by the neat luxuries of the autofocus lens, but no more π any enough gaff π
ya gotta view it large, go on, zoom in and find that naked person ;), – this pano is actually half of the what it originally started out 16 portrait orientation images at 105mm
16 images (portrait mode) stitched together – shot handheld
D750 coupled with Nikkor 105mm f2.5 @ 105mm Aperture: f8 and Shutter Speed: 1/250 seconds
ISO 100
EV -0.7
Out front – oasis

Superb picture 😃
Beautiful!
…a perfect scene for a pano.
this is gorgeous!
Beautiful landscape and wonderful light! The human you refer to must be exceptionally well camouflaged π
The 105 mm nikkor is a favourite of mine, as it's so versatile: macro, landscape for unique perspectives, [gigapixel] panos, even portraits. I no longer use the 24-70mm – any zoom for that matter.
+Gerard Blacklockβ nice colours, details & contrast mate! Nice pano & nice lens! ☺
