Ok after all the talk about panoramas on the equipment thread, here are a couple:
Handheld with AW 1. 1/80 at f8 ISO 3200
I agree - great panos by photoguy and great handheld shot by seraphim(thanks for the photo stats)
I thought they turned out well in the artificial light.
Indeed they did. Is the second one a crop of the first? It looks that way. What ISO were you shooting with?
Walt,
The 2 photos were taken about 90 minutes apart.
In the first photo, the green team (Melbourne) is fielding and the blue team (Brisbane) is batting.
In the second photo, Brisbane is fielding. The bowler is "Freddy" Flintoff - a very famous English cricketer.
Brisbane won the game on the last ball so an exciting and entertaining night.
The ISO was 1250 for the first photo (which was at about 6.40pm) and 2000 for the second photo.

Ron - yes, with the same lense, and 18-105mm.
Does the subscription version of Lightroom allow changes to be synced between two computers? If so, that might push me over the edge to buy a subscription.

Oh! This would make sense because the program is actually not on your computer -- your machine only refers to it.
But, my photos and the Lightroom adjustments should be on my computer so I never lose them. Otherwise, I am tied to Lightroom for life. Right? Or am I missing something.
In other words, while you can have Lightroom installed on two different machine, you need to be working with/on the same catalog referencing the same image files. The program and the files don't, necessarily, have to be on the same drive/folder but for two machines they have to be portable in some fashion.First, it is important to understand that there are no image files (what you call "pics") in Lightroom. The best (for me) analogy of the relationship of LR to the actual image files is the old library system of having a Card File in which each Book was referenced. Lightroom serves that function -- it only references the Image File.
However, to complicate things a little, LR treats RAW images somewhat differently than other types of images. LR creates a separate "sidecar" file for RAW images that contains all of your edits (including Metadata) and places that file in the same folder as the image file. With all other types of image files, LR places that data inside the Image File.
To further clarify, what you did was delete the actual Image File (the Book) without telling Lightroom (the Card File). Therefore, LR believes the file is still where it was but simply can't read it any more. LR's "backup" only saves those edits. It is, of course, a little more complicated than this but should give you direction on how to proceed.
should be on my computer so I never lose them.
If your only copies are on your computer, you WILL lose them at some future time... and, as always, in such events, not at the most opportune moment. I, personally, have three copies of all my images (~100, 000) in three separate locations.
What I don't want to lose are the Lightroom changes made to the photos. I guess I could export the photos in a TIFF format if Lightroom ever went away.
Isn't the subscription version of Lightroom still stored as software on one's computer? What one subscribes to is the updates, right. If one ditches LR, doesn't one keep the last updated copy of it?
