Another photo from last week's Worldwide Photowalk, which in Vancouver took place around Science World and the Olympic Village.
We had mildly overcast skies and a reasonably strong wind to start with, so while I was waiting for it to get dark enough for the city lights to come on, I took this long exposure panorama showing the Yaletown area of downtown Vancouver, the BC Place stadium, and the Science World geodesic dome.
This is a five-shot panorama with each shot being taken at 35mm, ISO 100, f/16 for 80 seconds, using a 10-stop ND filter.
I'm a British software developer and photographer living in Vancouver, BC. I mainly photograph landscapes, cityscapes, night scenes, and water.
If you're interested in any...
I'm with @humphreyhippo on this. Fav for me. Brilliantly done. Any chance you can be in Bournemouth next week Alexis to give me a 121 master class on how to do this!
Thanks everyone -- really great response to this shot. I nearly didn't post it -- it's not one I was personally too pleased with, but I'd spent a lot of time working on it and it seemed a shame to consign it to disk without it getting an outing.
@seanoneill That might be a little far to travel -- three years ago that would have been quite feasible, as I only lived about 40 miles away! If you're ever in this part of the world though, let me know!
@toast Fortunately (or luckily) I didn't have to wait at all! I saw the light conditions were about right when walking to the photowalk, so as soon as the introductions had been done and we set off, I got here as quickly as possible to set up.
@channelf A lot of work was required to blend this together nicely. I probably spent 3-4 hours in post-processing on this, which was more than I felt it deserved (although the response is making me change my mind). That included both the stitching and subsequent artifact removal, and the black and white conversion and dodging/burning, though.
alexis, i am just in awe of your photographs, your skills and your talents. i learn a lot from your various advice to others on the discussion page; they're very well explained and are easy to remember. someday, i hope to learn this stacking thing, too. but for now, i will just admire your gorgeous handiwork.
