Gateway Sculpture
I know, I know, I’ve posted a few of this lately, but I wanted to frame a really big one and didn’t think my 21 megapixel camera had enough resolution to do it justice so I waited for a windless night and went back. This baby is a four shot stitch giving me all the res I need for a mega print (enough for a large poster size and more) without the fisheye lens distortion although the perspective is still pretty extreme.
Not sure if I like the clear or cloudy sky more, opinions welcome.

Youv’e nailed it! Great, vibrant, arresting, shot. (Keep the (cloudy) sky:it makes it more interesting – although I am sure there are many out there with chrome furniture who like things sanitised.)

Great shot, i think the cloudy sky makes the tops stand out more, in the other clear sky shot they sort of just fade away…
Would love to go out there with you next time you go…
