Awesome pic. Too bad you don't have a wide-angle shot of it, otherwise it would be my desktop.

Very cool.

What do you use to stitch?

Not exactly the same scene.

The vertical shot was done in the Hancock Tower observation floor. Tripods weren't allowed, plus shooting through glass made things difficult. I didn't think I was going to get any keepers.

Hugin + Enblend, then I used CS2's lens correction feature to make the buildings in the foreground straight vertical instead of the usual leaning building distortion when you take these kinds of shots.

I'm looking for another stitch tool. Autostitch is hit and miss.

With Hugin you can select your own control points. Then stitch into multiple TIFFs, and Enblend can do some adjusting to get the color balance and contrast in all the pictures the same, so no seams.

Chicago is SO beautiful

 

[Evadman]

Damn. I need a super ginormous camera. Those rock.

 

[DainBramaged]

That is an *awesome* pic.

 

[fuzzybabybunny]

Thanks all! I wasn't sure whether this pic was ok or not because I personally thought that it would feel too cramped. I wish I could go back to Chicago and try it all over again

 

[SlitheryDee]

Wow that kicks serious ass.

8.5/10 :thumbsup:

 

[Liviathan]

Pretty nice!

Hancock tower?

 

[raz3000]

I've lived in Chicago for 16 years, and even I have the urge to hop on the highway and checkout downtown right now. Those pics are awesome.

Great shot! If I were you I'd get a MASSIVE print of the night skyline shot and have it hanging on my wall. Love it!

 

[fuzzybabybunny]

Thanks for the kudos guys!

Yup yup. I had to handhold these shots because tripods weren't allowed

Which skyline? The vertical one of the horizontal one?

EXIF?

 

[Staples]

I never though the Hancock building was that tall. How many floors is it?

 

[Shimmishim]

WOW

AMAZING picture!

when you first look at it, it almost looks fake, like it was a digital image (not picture) since the detail is so crisp and clear.

Oops, I lied. Just looked at the EXIF and the specs are

30mm
8 sec
ISO 100
f/8

This was probably one of the ones I did using my wallet on the floor as the "tripod" to get the angle I wanted.
