First Ten Years < 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 >

The most stunning skyline on earth - I hope I have done justice to the magnificence of Hong Kong at night. After nine years I returned there, planning this panorama for years - and I'm happy with the results!

The thumbnail goes to the panorama page, as this is too large to show in a popup window. I recommend clicking on the full screen view when you get to that page.

Taken from the pier in Tshim Sha Tsui, this wide panorama shows all of the Hong Kong Island landmarks, from the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center at left to the International Finance Center 2 on the right.

This is a 218 megapixel stitched and bracketed panorama, and technically the most challenging photo I have created. Shooting took "only" 54 minutes, but post-processing took too many hours to count. I used one lens for three rows of photos of the buildings and water, and also captured the sky with a wide angle lens. Everything bracketed at 0.5, 10 and 30 seconds.

The result was a 3+ gigabyte file, which was digitally blended (not HDR) to avoid noise and maximize control. And it prints as big as any wall takes; I'm still waiting for a place big enough to do justice to a print of this!
