Fog in the City

Description

I set out this morning to do some testing of the way I shoot panos. I watched a podcast that told of a better way to assist with the distortion. Shooting panos in portrait is better for the images than in landscape but as you can see from this image I did not listen. LOL. I found that is I shoot with my 18-55mm and keep the length of the pano to 2 image with a 15° turn, I can control the distortion. In any case the fog in the city narrowed my locations down, the only area without heavy fog was the waterfront. Which is cool because I have been looking to reshoot from Bell Street anyway.

This is a true 3 image HDR.
