Lexy 470 Report post Posted November 11, 2005 Here area a couple of panoramic pics I took today while out and about in town. This perspective really shows the connection between downtown and West End. You can actually see the airport "skyline" in the last pic of the larger pano! WOW! Anyways, the area I took these from is a bluff that overlooks I-440 west of town about three blocks off of Charlotte Pike. Enjoy. And for those that care about the skyline and not all that "stuff" in West End.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ricky_the_great 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2005 you should have photoshopped it, so that you dont have hardcore lines going down the center, and sky colour differences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hankster 6 Report post Posted November 14, 2005 Excellent pictures Lexy. The West End area is really starting to have quite a skyline all itself. Just imagine what it would look like with the West End Summit added in! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lexy 470 Report post Posted November 17, 2005 A new pano from the "point" Taken today around lunchtime. Look at the Viridian Tower and how it makes a huge difference on the skyline now! Ricky, I did photoshop it, but sometimes the shade is too hard to overcome in a pic. That is why I made the same pano a bit smaller and just included the downtown core. I had to gve a little to take a little in that case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lexy 470 Report post Posted November 19, 2005 ^ I think it's called watercolor. I really don't remember what it is, LOL!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricky_the_great 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2005 ^ I think it's called watercolor. I really don't remember what it is, LOL!!! hey, you should get a shot, over some road or interstate with the downtown in the background, and set the camera so that the exposure is longer, im thinking that youre using a tripod to make the pictures uniformly the same on the horizontal plane, so that its easier to put together. anyway, if you set the exposure for like 10-20 seconds the cars lights will look like streaks of light, where has the buildings lights will remain constant because the camera and the buildings are not moving. it'll be a cool effect .

Lexy 470 Report post Posted November 20, 2005 I am going to try that at a place that is kinda "shaddy". I still have to figure out the camera and if I can change the exposure or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
