High Above Chicago

Pano is combined from 5 shots, using Photoshop to process. @ukandie1 and I enjoyed our Tripod Monday at the John Hancock building last night. As the sun set, the interior reflections made it difficult to photograph the skyline without the interior showing up. But it was fun trying! And this was the first time I have used PS successfully to create a pano. This is looking south from the observation deck - probably about the 95th floor.
Thanks for your patience as I'm slowly catching up!
Great Shot !!

Great image and processing

Tripod Monday was a great success. :) Good for you, to create a pano out of PS. Not easy, at all. Hoping to photograph this in person, soon.

Awesome picture and perspective.

I know the problems of taking photos like this and I reckon you've made a darned good job of this pano. It gives a good sense of the contrast between the CBD (or whatever you call it) and the suburbs. You live in a very impressive city.

Stunning pano, and congrats on the successful PS processing!
March 23rd, 2016  
Very interesting processing.

Very cool, I love pano shots :)

Really great!

With the nice softening sky colour, the city looks lovely.
March 23rd, 2016  
Wow, what a view! Fav. Using PS to merge photos is one of the easiest thing one could do.

What a fabulous view of the city. I haven't done any panorama shots myself but David does them regularly. Must give it a go sometime.

very, very, very cool pano...huge fav...where did you have your focus point Taffy...
March 23rd, 2016  
Fantastic!
March 23rd, 2016  
Beautiful skyline photo.
March 23rd, 2016  
@ukandie1. Forgot to tag! Pano helped as I cropped out reflections.
March 23rd, 2016  
Great view. If only we had ways to show images more than 1024 pixels on the long side. Yes, it can be awkward shooting though windows especially in such places. I have been unlucky on occasion to have to shoot through dirty windows too. :(

Beautiful panoramic shot.

@maree_sanderson I knew I was taking photos for a pano and would likely have to crop above and below, so the focus was on the line of buildings just above the bottom third. Then, I used about 50mm (48 on the zoom) so that it would have the least distortion and get the widest amount of information.

Fabulous view over the city.
March 23rd, 2016  
A super pano shot Taffy. I've yet to try this but really want to give it a go.
March 23rd, 2016  
A wonderful shot(S) making a wonderful panorama !
March 23rd, 2016  
Great as a pano, I never think of doing them (apart from the one time I did and posted it here). I just posted something from the same spot in one of my extra albums.
March 23rd, 2016  
@taffy ...thanks Taffy...you did good... :o)
March 23rd, 2016  
Fav for a great pano! You've reminded me to do another soon - the lazy in-camera way!!
March 23rd, 2016  
great shot
March 23rd, 2016  
Great shot
March 23rd, 2016  
Wonderful shot, love the view and it looks to me like you did really great job, definitely something I'd like to learn to do in Photoshop. Fav.
March 23rd, 2016  
So cool Taffy! And wonderful as all your city photos are!
