From up high in one of the highrise buildings, I took these shots thru the windows. Please excuse any reflections I didn't notice when taking the photo...

Great photos Dave! :)

I like the pano a lot, but the reflection in the bottom left is a bit distracting. Could try and PP it out a bit by selecting that are and tinker with levels to get rid of the white.

Oh I just noticed where the joins are too ;) The Art Centre, Fed Square, the theatre and some of the rail posts have ghost images. What program did you use for this?

thanks Piro.

I used Panorama Factory to stitch the pano together. I always knew that shooting this handheld, with lots of fine detail in the shot would not welcome a "seamless" pano.....but it's not too bad. At least I remembered to lock exposure prior to shooting these...something I have forgotten to do in the past :-)

Next time I might go with the tripod and try to mask out any possibility of reflections before shooting.

Hi Dave. Great shots. Interesting perspectives on our city that generally those of us that live here do not see. I especially like the 3rd pic.

My fav is also the 3rd pic. Makes me think I should take my D70 to work more often.

Nice pictures, my favourite are the number 1 and 2; there is potential for some awesome photos by framing reflections into the window as you did...
