I like the pano version more
First, it is exposed better :-)
Second, it covers more :-)
Pano wins:-)

Good ... let me see ... afternoon.
I have shot these pictures with the ND filter. The light was harsh but not so much as 5 days ago.
Now, that it rained a little in spice of beeing August, the light is not so strong and direct. The longest day of the year was the 21 th June and days are decreasing now ...
But it was morning 11 o'clock or so. No trouble to see the EXIF. Not that important.
RAW file of course and converted in CS2 without automatic adjustments.
It turned out a nice pic and then I applied curves on LAB.
The blue is very nice and deep. No polarizing filter, thought it looks like ...
Nice results. Have to try more.
May be this is a good workflow for this kind of situations...
Oh ! Something else: I shot some pics in P blocking the light to the sky like this one here.
Obrigado.

Antonio,
I'm curious: why using ND in this case? Did you "shoot" for particular DOF and wasn't getting it without one?

And don't you hate it when you have a beautiful historical building - and the ugly powerlines, parking sings and cars in front of it? I do.. :cry

I was shooting with ND for no reason.
Just to see what would happen.
It resulted very well.
Aperture: f/7.1 ISO: 200 Focal Length: 16mm (guess: 24mm in 35mm) Exposure Time: 0.005s (1/200)For the Church picture. It's the Church of S. Sebastão I shot the other day.
Experience to be repeated tomorrow. :

What can I do ?
There are days when we have not so many cars... Public hollidays, sundays sometimes ...
