Expired (2007) 35mm Fuji Reala 100
Mistakenly shot at ISO 200
Developed In dillute Kodak SM Flex for 5 minutes.
You can check: none of the towers in this shot is a duplicate ;)
This is the Business Bay (I think?) area near the Burj Dubai (visible in the background, left), shot at dusk. Clearly not an ideal time to shoot.
My first idea was to produce a real panorama and stitch the pictures in Photoshop.
However my (soon to be changed) zoom kit has so much distortion at 24mm it's not even funny (and I couldn't zoom more as these towers are pretty LARGE), and the exposure of each frame is just too different.
So I went the lazy way (shoot me), and I quite like the result.

The Flatiron Building, originally the Fuller Building, is a triangular 22-story steel-framed landmarked building located at 175 Fifth Avenue in the borough of Manhattan, New York City, which is considered to be a groundbreaking skyscraper. Upon completion in 1902, it was one of the tallest buildings in the city at 20 floors high. The building sits on a triangular block formed by Fifth Avenue, Broadway, and East 22nd Street – where the building's 87-foot (27 m) back end is located – with East 23rd Street grazing the triangle's northern (uptown) peak. As with numerous other wedge-shaped buildings, the name "Flatiron" derives from its resemblance to a cast-iron clothes iron. [Wikipedia]
