Description Saifi quarter, Beirut, Lebanon.


5 vertical-shots panoramic. (which gave the skewed perspective that I like)

no problem

To explain the 5-vert shot thing, imagine that next to each other the photos will look like this: [][][][][] instead of the horizontal one:[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]
Does this make sense?

As for the skewing effect, I used a very wide angle lens (at 15mm). And when you stitch them, it gets naturally skewed.

you're right. 'Quarter of arts' is a new name kind of. Saifi is the original name.

Gharib ma sha7atouk dighreh!

Anyway, I like it. The skies look great along with the foreground [between u & me: they look edited in some places, hehe].

Lovely Pano!

No you're right. The upper half was overexposed, so I tried to do a "ND grad" filter in editing because I don't have one yet. So must've gone wrong in some place. Will get it better next time.
