Are you willing to share what camera and camera settings you use for those pictures? I know I've asked about your camera before, but seeing as that might be a few hundred pages back...
Anyway, I got myself a Nikon 600D the other day and I've been experimenting with settings and stuff; but I'd appreciate advice from someone more experienced than me.
I think you'll find that the 600D is made by Canon. :P
I could start rambling off into a long-winded lesson on the basics of photography. But it'd probably read just like
this
which was the first thing I read when I started out. There's about 30 articles but each shouldn't take any more than 5 minutes to read.
Once you've done that, feel free to email me with further questions.
That said, this is how I took these photos:
Bor both photos I had my camera set on a tripod and was using manual mode.
For the low view I took 3 photos with a shutter speed of 2.5sec, aperture of f/11.0 and an ISO of 100. I then stitched the 3 together in Photoshop to create the panorama.
For the high view I took 1 photo with a shutter speed of 30sec, apperture of f/10.0 and an ISO of 100.
My camera is a Nikon D5100, which is the direct market competitor to the 600D.
I could live on half of those boat quite comfortably if they have good internet.
Considering the millions of dollars they're worth, I'm sure they all have wifi.

Hey Donny - have you played with HDR much? Could be a way of getting some of the darker elements in the shots to be a bit more exposed, though I'm not sure if the 5100 has HDR built-in.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Squishalot##DELIM##

I used to do a lot of HDR. It is great for cheap point and shoot cameras as they don't have a lot of dynamic range. With DSLRs I find it pointless since they already have a much better dynamic range. Also, with DSLRs you can shoot raw, which gives you a lot more flexibility with adjusting the colours or tones in the photo compared to shooting JPEG.
HDR is an inherently flawed technique IMO as it reduces contrast and can cause halos on any areas where there is a fringe between light and dark tones. I have seen HDRs done in an artistic and pleasing manner, but they are few and far between.
Another technique which I think is probably superior to HDR, is taking 2 exposures - one exposed for the shadows and one exposed for the highlights - and then rather than merging them together as an HDR, simply layering the bright one over the top of the dark one, and then applying a mask over the area you don't want to be brightened. That is the technique I used with the low view shot - the dark exposure brought out the colours in the sky but the boats were black. The bright exposure brought more detail to the boats but the sky was white. So I applied the bright exposure as a layer on top of the dark exposure, then simply used the quick selection tool to select the sky and painted over it with a black brush in layer mask mode. This prevented it from being brightened so I managed to keep the colour in the sky, without affecting the overall contrast of the image. (Except for the ground:sky contrast of course).
Make sense?

I know one of them wouldn't. Can't really see it in the photo but legendary race yacht Wild Oats XI calls Hamilton Island Marina home.

Go nuts. I'm serious. There's like 2-3 people who are known to do it.

I don't do it through public channels. The only major instances were when I used Real ID broadcast - that's about it really (and gmotds I guess, but I rapidly decided against continuing that idea).
So pretty much, not really.
