Click here for Large Version. At the interior of Sarawak border with Kalimantan side of Indonesia, you will find Borneo Highlands at 3600feet ASL with rich flora and fauna presence. Mornings will be misty and foggy when it rains. A joint venture between government (providing land) and private sector (providing capital and management), now with 18-hole golf course and resort bungalow lots for sale. Although we failed in the bird watch due to lack of experience, the thick canopy rainforests were a joy to trek.

This is my 1st attempt at panorama work after some tips from Stego about the open source software. I hope you like it and any critiques and comments will be appreciated.

ISO100, FL18mm

Hi Bill,
The large version looks fantastic, there apeears to be a slight degree of exposure difference betwen this and the large version. A superb exotic tropical mountain vista, and boy - how I would like to play golf here. My compliments. Danilo

Hi Bill,

Loved the large version - like watching a slide, impressive.

The clouds are perfectly white against that deep blue sky - what a place!

Hi Bill,
I adore your large version! WOW, fantastic place!
Your composition in this format is so effective emphasizing the vast environment. And what a sky! With this movement, it makes an excellent counterpoint at the peaceful greeneries. The red spot of flowers adds at the alive mood! Bravo! Annie

Hi Bill.
Beautiful, Hole in one.!
But must say, the bal is on a rather high stick placed, right ?
Well, in nighttime when it is lighted, easy to find any how, haha
The large version is so much richer. Very well done.
I still dont now how to place a link like this, sniff.
Terima Kasih,

Hi Bill,

This a nice panoramic picture. The "assemblage" is excellent, is hard to find the joint between the images. Exposure and focus are very good. And the subject is well adapted to this technic.

I also enjoy Pano picture, but never put any on Trek because they are always to small in height. Do you mind telling me how you do to have the "large version" option?

Great works and TFS.

nice panoramic view Bill, a well stitched image shots on first attempt, sharp and detailed. well done.TFS.

Hi Bill,

The curve of the path is an asset to the composition. The point of view takes our eyes toward the house, it is allowing us to see the details and colors of the architecture of the house. The light is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.
