Pushing The Limit
I really want to buy a tilt shift lens, probably the Canon 24 TS/E II but I don't have the money at the moment with 2 small children taking up my time and cash.
So before I decide to sell some other gear to buy one, I thought I should push the limits of stitching and see what kind of results I can get.
I kid of like this, but it still has unnatural distortion. This is Governor Phillip Tower, Sydney. A very tall building shot from very close up.
From Wiki:
Governor Phillip Tower dominates the site. It sits 10 floors above street level on a series of large zinc-plated transfer beams atop a 4-level sandstone-glad podium (upon which Governor Macquarie Tower also sits). This maximises views, and hence rentals, for all levels. Opinion, however, is mixed on how well this massive 10-storey base contributes to the building’s relationship with the street.
The façade is of grey granite and glass used to achieve an expensive and highly detailed finish. The steel-bladed roof features have been dubbed the milk-crate.
At 227m to the roof, it is the 3rd tallest building in the city by roof height (sixth by spire height), although the taller MLC Centre and World Tower are both only fractionally taller with a 228m roof height. It is arguably the most visually dominating building on Sydney CBD skyline. From many prominent angles, and significantly from most Sydney Harbour viewpoints, it appears as the tallest building on the skyline by a large margin, however this is perspective illusion.
