Here's a first shot I've processed from a recent visit to Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi. It's the largest mosque in the country and is pretty impressive.

I'll post a colour and B&W version. The shot was a stitch from 15 original shots with the Carl Zeiss 35mm, which captures incredible tones and detail. This was then stitched in PTGui before processing in PS CS5 and Silver Efex.

I'll post a few more as soon as I've had the chance to process.

stunning as always Phil

What do you use for the panorama head? I'm looking for a portable solution.

This looks like what I want to do:

I have a portable solution for sale - it's a Nodal Ninja Mark III which is ideal for your camera.

However on this I shot it handheld.

Scanning the scene for the optimum exposure I then dialled it in on full manual mode, fixed the focus (easy with a manual focuslens) and WB, and shot away.

And a few more from the set - colour and then b&w versions of each:

That has to be the most pristine white mosque I have seen. Lots of sharp textures and lines. I like how the eye is drawn to different things in color and B&W.

This is one of those sets of pictures where it's tough to choose between the colour or B&W version - both versions are stunning to look at!

Thanks guys - I prefer the feel of the b&w myself, and think the b&w pronounces the tones better

Another great set, not only the subject matter also the quality. I like how you captured the people in the centre of the pillars.

Cheers

Thanks 4xxxx

The 15 shot panorama is just being printing and framed - the detail at 30" x 22" is quite impressive! Damn these old 12Mp cameras and manual focus optics!
