夜深雲湧 Cloudy night / 香港中環全景 Central, Hong Kong Panorama / SML.20130623.6D.16533-SML.20130623.6D.16547-Pano.i15.360x87

Nothing can quite describe the excitement of seeing a parallax-free render after spending the time to make the series of shots—not to mention carrying the gear to the location in the middle of the night.

 

The Manfrotto 303 SPH pano head is not cheap, but at last I do not have to make excuses of why the seams do not match and try to fix them post-processing unsuccessfully. This is the best purchase in recent years yet again.

 

I found this open space near Pier 10 at Central Pier. All the architectural landmarks in Central can be clearly seen here, as well as the Central Plaza to the right in Wan Chai.

 

The IFC is quite tall, and I photographed this with the 6D + 17-40 angled 15-degree from the horizon. Stitched together using 15 captures set at 24-degree each. With the 303SPH (the 300N rotating head component) it becomes very easy to photograph at intervals covering everything equally without much guess work.
