Hi Brian,
I did the same shot with a normal lens for leading lines assignment. It looks different a bit simpler.

@aa: Fantastic shot, but if I can quibble... I know it is difficult with the distortions when shooting with a fisheye (I assume a fisheye or stitching), but the pillar in the middle seems to have a bit too much lean to it - have you tried straightening on that point? I realise that might mean losing some good bits off the edges, that might make it undesirable, but if it did work I think it would be an improvement.

thanks bob and yes it was taken with a 16mm fisheye, aiming to make the curves and bends stand-out but i'll try to adjust it and see if it works mate, thanks again

Some oldies from 2007 (haven't been outside for night shots for too long!)

Excellent night shots.
You might like to note that we prefer a max of 1024 pixels wide or 810 high for verticals so those of us without widescreen can see the whole frame without scrolling.

Thank you, I will surely follow the rules next time. Sorry I did not read them before posting.
@brian33: thanks, I like that too. It’s a very strange effect from the lens I used (Sony 20 mm) and the photoshop automate pano. In reality its not like that, there is not such “valley”.
@ Andrew: thanks, all 3 are taken from the same spot over Hong Kong (from the Peak) but with different lenses and time:
shot 1: Sony 35 mm G, f/6.3, 1/4 sec, Iso 100
shot 2: Sony 20 mm, f/9, 8 sec, Iso 100
shot 3: Sony 50 mm, f/13, 10 sec, Iso 100
Andrew, your night shots are amazing.
ciao

@vispillo: I especially like the pano on the second one. Is it me or is the first one leaning just slightly?... I like how you processed the sky in both.

And... Welcome to Dyxum! I spent a little time looking at your flickr page, looks like you've got some nice shots, landscapes, still life, HDR...

It'll be a pleasure to see more from you here!

PS: feel free to post your shots even just slightly bigger - 900 pixels wide or so is sort of optimal, and up to 1024 is acceptable for landscape orientation. For portrait orientation 800 pixels tall is a good size.

@brian33 - thanks for the encouragement. I think you're right about the rotation on the first one - maybe it wasn't quite straight to start with, so things just got worse when I used ShiftN to correct for perspective distortions. I'll go back to the original file and check it out :)

Oh, and sorry about the image sizes - I have recently had to downgrade to a netbook and seem to have forgotten what it's like to have a decent-sized screen. I'll keep that in mind next time I post.
