Morning outing Tinderbox, Sea Lion rock formation, 261221.

Was fortunate to get permission to walk through private property to get access to the seashore.
Thought this rock formation was interesting, needs another visit or more in early morning.
It has a gull sitting on a nest for an eye.

Nice of folks to let you pass. Certainly looks like a place to re-visit when there's some dramatic lighting, a storm, etc.

Nicely done. I enjoy shooting panoramas as well. Looks like you've got it mastered. Have you tried focus stacked each panel of the panorama?

Quite so, I do know them but had not seen them for quite a few years, I was offered the opportunity and took it.

Certainly looks like a place to re-visit when there's some dramatic lighting, a storm, etc.

A storm visit may be a bit problematic as this harbour opens to the Southern Ocean and the rocky shore might be a bit dicey to visit then, but we will see.

Nicely done.

Thanks.

Looks like you've got it mastered.

Far from it, I do have disasters as well!
When I return I will move further towards the rock to remove the small break between the "head" and torso of the "Sea lion".
Getting the gull on the nest might also be difficult.

Have you tried focus stacked each panel of the panorama?

No, I have not, but it is something to keep in mind.

The sea is difficult when stitching, there were a number of attempts before I was happy this one.
