Chicago panoramas and other shots (LOTS) / Canon 5D Mark II Thread

Some of you may have seen these already but wanted to share for the rest of the class.

click any pic for a larger version.

I didn't use a tripod for any of these, but I did use ledges or other supporting structures to balance. As noted, many were hand-held (using burst shots). This is handy for instance when, you want to take a night shot in the middle of the street, with cars around.

(EXIF for as many shots as I could find and/or applicable.)

All of them are really outstanding, but these two are un-fucking real.

Nice work, Ruben.

I agree wholeheartedly, the wilder side one is jaw-droppingly good, I want a widescreen 1680x1050 version for my wallpaper, lol

hey - most of these are subtle HDR. not the wild and crazy kind. with the exception of the 1 or 2 I said were wild and exaggerated.

subtle autotuning is autotuning
not trying to take anything away, if anything i was commenting on how you actually do use it well, subtlety is perfect for hdr cause most of the stuff i've seen is crap

and I wasn't trying to say I wasn't doing any tuning

I used to do wilder HDR's back when I started but now.. subtlety = ftw.
