“從大會堂到國際金融中心 From City Hall to International Financial Centre (IFC)” / 香港中環建築夜之全景 Hong Kong Central Architecture Night Panorama / SML.20130323.7D.35884-SML.20130323.7D.35895-Pano.Cylindrical.218x110.P1.L1

I have been hunting for a location to photograph the skyline in Central for a while, but it has not been easy, as it is very crowded everywhere.

 

But I found a spot last night when I went to the City Hall for a drama performance—right here. This is the entrance to City Hall, and it is an empty car park right old side with a perfect view of the entire downtown financial district.

 

As a handheld panorama, I could not really evaluate the the FOV I needed, so you will see that I did not crop it at all. But the important bits is that I now know where to get to with my tripod. Trust that you will see a better rendering of this on my stream some time in the future.

 

In the front is the City Hall, then progressing all the way to the right is International Finance Centre (IFC), one of the tallest office buildings in Hong Kong.

 

This is stitched together using 12 fullres 7D RAW portrait captures handheld. Color balance is a bit of an issue here, so when I go back and work on it again I might process it as black and white.
