"Het Strijkijzer", or as one would say in English "The Iron", is a skyscraper in The Hague, The Netherlands. With 42 floors and a height of 132 meters, it's the fifth highest building in The Hague. The building is inspired by the Flatiron Building or Fuller Building (1902) in New York. In 2007 the building won the New City Award from The Hague and the International Gold Emporis Skyscraper Award.
In 2010 I was allowed onto the roof for a photo assignment I was working on. The concierge gave me about 45 minutes to complete the task at hand. This gave plenty of spare time to also shoot this earlier panorama.
Now in 2017 I revisited the building. But this time I had do it in a more commercially fashioned way. In 2010 it was a specially arranged visit. Nowadays, everybody can go up the tower. One can buy ticket (9 euro and that includes a drink) for viewing and there's a bar/restaurant (The Penthouse) on top. During courses you are invited to take a look from the balcony.
In 2010 Het Strijkijzer was the highest building of The Hague. Now "New Babylon" is the highest, being 153 meter tall (including the mast ;-). Without a mast included the two towers (in the middle of this pano) that house the ministries of Internal Affairs and Justice are the highest; 147 meters.
Technical stuff
This panorama consists of 35 individual handheld photos, shot in one row. Due to the lighting conditions I shot the photo -1 stop. I used the single AF-point in the EVF to get the horizon as straight as possible. With handheld pano series this is always a bit tricky, but it worked.
The original pano is 22961 x 6897 pixels and approximately 1,4 GB. The pano has an angle of approximately 245 degrees.
The initial stitching was done with Photoshop CC. This resulted in an image that was curves like a sand dune; how fitting!? I used the warp tool to straitening the horizon. One could also use the "adaptive wide angle" toolbox. But if noticed that this tool does not really work in larges pano’s. In post-production I tuned the lighting, the coloring in several places, smoothing the sky in places were the color jumped a couple of tones and enhanced the sharpening by adding a high pass filter (setting 10, occupancy 41%). Finally I included copyright watermarks. The latter is, alas, there to stay due to the fact that my photos were frequently copied. So, don't bother commenting on that.

Because I love the Flatiron District, as well of the iconic landmark skyscraper, I decided on a black and white treatment this time around. I don't know when I'll be back in the Big Apple, but this is one of the ways I'll remember it...
The neighborhood around it is called the Flatiron District after this signature 22-story building, which has become an icon of New York City. The building (formerly known as the Fuller Building) was designated a New York City landmark in 1966, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1989.

The Flatiron Building, originally the Fuller Building, is located at 175 Fifth Avenue in the borough of Manhattan, New York City, and is considered to be a groundbreaking skyscraper. Upon completion in 1902, it was one of the tallest buildings in the city and one of only two skyscrapers north of 14th Street – the other being the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower, one block east. The building sits on a triangular island-block formed by Fifth Avenue, Broadway and East 22nd Street, with 23rd Street grazing the triangle's northern (uptown) peak.
The Flatiron Builing, a skyscraper completed in 1902, has become one of the most famous buildings in New York, and an icon for the city. It's a highly popular spot for tourist photos, of course - and here's mine.

I never think in my iPhone as a camera, and I don't use it for photography, just snapshots, but this picture was special and different of what I usually do. I think if an iPhone was the only camera I could use, I'll be just fine.
Built as the Fuller Building in 1902. The design of the 22-story building came from the triangular shaped lot. Referred to as the 'Flatiron Building' because of its resemblance to the old cast iron clothes iron.
Designed by David Burnham of Chicago. The 'Chicago School' influence can be seen by the building's classic Greek column facade which is divided into a base, shaft and capital.
The western facade along 5th Avenue. You can barely pick out the three bay windows.

New York City (NYC), often called the City of New York or simply New York (NY), is the most populous city in the United States. With an estimated 2018 population of 8,398,748 distributed over about 302.6 square miles (784 km2), New York is also the most densely populated major city in the United States. Located at the southern tip of the U.S. state of New York, the city is the center of the New York metropolitan area, the largest metropolitan area in the world by urban landmass. With almost 20 million people in its metropolitan statistical area and approximately 23 million in its combined statistical area, it is one of the world's most populous megacities. New York City has been described as the cultural, financial, and media capital of the world, significantly influencing commerce, entertainment, research, technology, education, politics, tourism, art, fashion, and sports. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important center for international diplomacy.
Situated on one of the world's largest natural harbors, New York City is composed of five boroughs, each of which is a county of the State of New York. The five boroughs—Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island—were consolidated into a single city in 1898. The city and its metropolitan area constitute the premier gateway for legal immigration to the United States. As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world. New York is home to more than 3.2 million residents born outside the United States, the largest foreign-born population of any city in the world as of 2016. As of 2019, the New York metropolitan area is estimated to produce a gross metropolitan product (GMP) of $2.0 trillion. If greater New York City were a sovereign state, it would have the 12th highest GDP in the world. New York is home to the highest number of billionaires of any city in the world.
New York City traces its origins to a trading post founded by colonists from the Dutch Republic in 1624 on Lower Manhattan; the post was named New Amsterdam in 1626. The city and its surroundings came under English control in 1664 and were renamed New York after King Charles II of England granted the lands to his brother, the Duke of York. New York was the capital of the United States from 1785 until 1790, and has been the largest U.S. city since 1790. The Statue of Liberty greeted millions of immigrants as they came to the U.S. by ship in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is a symbol of the U.S. and its ideals of liberty and peace. In the 21st century, New York has emerged as a global node of creativity and entrepreneurship and environmental sustainability, and as a symbol of freedom and cultural diversity. In 2019, New York was voted the greatest city in the world per a survey of over 30,000 people from 48 cities worldwide, citing its cultural diversity.
Many districts and landmarks in New York City are well known, including three of the world's ten most visited tourist attractions in 2013. A record 62.8 million tourists visited New York City in 2017. Times Square is the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway Theater District, one of the world's busiest pedestrian intersections, and a major center of the world's entertainment industry. Many of the city's landmarks, skyscrapers, and parks are known around the world. Manhattan's real estate market is among the most expensive in the world. New York is home to the largest ethnic Chinese population outside of Asia, with multiple distinct Chinatowns across the city. Providing continuous 24/7 service and contributing to the nickname The City that Never Sleeps, the New York City Subway is the largest single-operator rapid transit system worldwide, with 472 rail stations. The city has over 120 colleges and universities, including Columbia University, New York University, Rockefeller University, and the City University of New York system, which is the largest urban public university system in the United States. Manhattan is home to the world's two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization, namely the New York Stock Exchange, located on Wall Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, and NASDAQ, headquartered in Midtown Manhattan.
As some of you will know Claire & I visited NYC back in August last year and although we are now 6 months past then this was one of the shots I took haha.
I actually started processing it ages ago but hit a brick wall so just left it in my 'shots in progress' folder which has a more shots in than I realised!
The building is at 175 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan and after completion in 1902 it was one of the cities tallest buildings.

I opened the RAW file in Adobe Camera Raw and made some preset adobe lens corrections then imported the file into PS CS6.
I knew that the shot would be mono so imported into Silver Efex Pro 2 where I made 2 versions, one which I would use for the building then one for the sky etc.
The building would be quite light whereas the sky and foreground area would be dark mainly to hide the distracting traffic ghosting which was inevitable mid day or in
fact any time in Manhattan! Once I created the second version I created a mask and gently revealed the first with varying opacity.
I wanted to accentuate the lightness on the main subject so imported the shot into Niks Colour Efex Pro 4 where theres a filter names 'Darken/Lighten Centre'. I messed with the 3 sliders that alter border size and luminosty until I was happy.
At this point as usual with this type of shot I noticed I had introduced a fine halo around the areas of contrast so I made a duplicate layer and began cloning at between 200-500%. Its very time consuming but has to be done :/
Next I wanted to fix the conversion of the building so using the Transform warp tool and a grid I began pulling the buildings sides until it was straight. At this point I still wasnt happy with the thin halo so revisted again cropping right into to around 400%.
At the bottom left there was a very strange line which appeared to be a ghost bus roof in the sky so I tried my best to clone it out but couldn't so I cropped the left side and bottom a touch.
I felt that the detail although great in the Flatiron building could be improved so I opened the shot in Niks Sharpener Pro 3 and used the default setting to enhance the amazing stone work.
I used the 'Brush' function so that the sharpening only affected the building.
Lastly I used Topaz Denoise to remove a small amount of noise before saving in various sizes and formats and uploading to the web.
In total 17 layers were used.

The Flatiron Building was designed by Chicago's Daniel Burnham as a vertical Renaissance palazzo with Beaux-Arts styling. Unlike New York's early skyscrapers, which took the form of towers arising from a lower, blockier mass, such as the contemporary Singer Building (1902–1908), the Flatiron Building epitomizes the Chicago school conception: like a classical Greek column, its facade – limestone at the bottom changing to glazed terra-cotta from the Atlantic Terra Cotta Company in Tottenville, Staten Island as the floors rise – is divided into a base, shaft and capital. Credit should be shared with his designer Frederick P. Dinkelberg, a Pennsylvania-born architect.
