Awesome panos, Anthony! I distinctly remember the 1st shot from the landscape forum. It's as great now as it ever was!

tisun

Thanks, Mahesh. I still like it, too.

Me, three. That 1st one should be a giant print hanging on your wall.

Too funny! This would make a great picture for AT&T cellular. Love the golden light on those buildings, Linda, and the sky is subtly beautiful.

Having just "re-entered" the photography world, I have only taken shots of Seattle so far, so here's mine.

1. Sunset



2. Afternoon HDR



3. Queen Anne from the Space Needle

No shortage of entries from Seattle but I'll throw a couple into the mix (I won't include the one from MC #3, but #2 is similar and in color).

#1: I have a million variations of this composition (dusk, dawn, sunset, sunrise, moonrise, fall, summer, winter, spring...), I like this one because of the rare conditions (snow with a clear day!). Also it was a tricky exposure, I had to use a 3-stop and 2-stop GND filter combined. These days I might try manually blending multiple exposures instead.



#2: Dusk in the Emerald City. Shot from my top secret location



#3: This one's from Vancouver, BC

I was hoping someone would enter a tilt-shift cityscape. I love the look of these. Jeff, did you do these with a special lens or via PP? Would love to know how.

#3 Busch Stadium

Holy cow, Danny, those are amazing. Especially the first one.

Ummm, trying to remember why I thought I might enter this one . . ...

I responded to the first photos (Danny's) before I saw the others and triple HOLY COW! You guys are GOOD! Super amazing stuff.

I think I'm not going to enter this one - I don't live in/near a city and don't travel as much as I'd like either, ghinson! But I sure will sit back and enjoy the show here! Amazing stuff. Gargoyles, Florence, tiny cities, Ft. Lauderdale, even Can You Hear Me Now?s!

What a treat for the eyes. :lurk

Thanks! No special lens. Just post-processing magic. I use Capture NX 2.2, but you can use Photoshop to achieve the same look. Just google "tilt-shift photoshop" and you'll see a number of tutorials.

Yeah, I second that.

These shots are just absolutely gorgeous. Unbelievable stuff, guys.

I think I'm gonna go hide now... in my town where the tallest building is 6 stories.... :hide

Awesome stuff so far! Keep those entries coming.

Alright kids, here's what I've got. Not spectacular, but better than nothing, right?

Gainesville, FL: Looking at the tallest building in town with the stadium on the horizon off to the right (aka The Swamp - go Gators!) from the roof of the second tallest building in town. No laughing at our tiny town!

Amazing song...


In regards to the challenge. LoL. I'll gracefully bow out. But I will slap this one up for the hell of it.

NYC - A veiw from the middle of the water...



The images so far, are sell worthy. Great job guys.

Here's my entry, taken probably March this year up in Chicago, IL. The camera was a Canon EOS XSi. At the time I was just living on my kit lens and my 50mm, so I think that this image was taken with 50mm (somewhere in the processing, I lost the EXIF... doh!).

Hey -- I can see my "Can you hear me now" towers from here -- they are at the extreme center right of your photo (on the river).

Hi!
I am very new here and also a beginner when it comes to photographing.
My name is Helena and I live in Sicily, and we dont have much of cities around, more like small towns, so this is the best I can do at the moment...
There are no tricks to this photo, I was just "bulbing" away for a couple of seconds...



I am not sure if this qualifies as a cityscape, so if it doesnt, just ignore it!

OhEddie

Part cityscape, but mostly bridge.

Going to throw this one in, more if i can work it out.

First landscape for me.
Does this count as a landscape ?
A view of New York City from Elmhurst, Queens.
I do like the city in silhouette.
