2011-12-25 Thanks to Chip-Online.de team and the voting community, this shot became the number 15 of the top 100 HDR shots!! I'm really suprized, because I never expected this result. Many thanks!!!
2014-11-01 Well, I still do not get it but somehow this shot got DD'd. Many thanks to ihamo for suggesting and Kaz-D for featuring!

2014-11-13 I received some requests to upload this one in higher resolution -> some user want to print it for their home. Well, you can download it (for free), print it by yourself (that's often expensive), or you buy it here as a print on DeviantArt.

Doesn't look like a real cityscape, but a city miniature in scale. Even so, it looks amazing!

There are many ways to recreate a scenery like this. But tilt-shift is the only one using the depth of the motive

Yeha, you're right. That would be better especially with the kit lens.
The scape was that amazing, I totally forgot to adjust the cam

Klasse Panoramaaufnahme.
Mir gefΓ€llt vor allen Dingen, wie du den Fokus gelegt hast und wie der hintere Teil der Stadt in der UnschΓ€rfe verschwimmt.

TiKy2010 In reply to GeorgeGoodnight [2011-08-25 14:11:38 +0000 UTC]

Freut mich, dass es dir so gefΓ€llt

Es ist kein "echter" Fokus, habe mit etwas Software und Zeit nachgeholfen.
War mein erster Versuch, bisher ist mir kein weiteres geeignetes Motiv vor die Linse gekommen.

GeorgeGoodnight In reply to TiKy2010 [2011-08-25 17:19:38 +0000 UTC]

Dachte mir schon, dass du da ein wenig "nachgeholfen" hast
Ein sehr gelungener erster Einsatz, meiner Meinung nach.

In den neueren Canon DSLR cams sind solche Software-Effektfilter integriert, bin echt gespannt ob die auch so gute Ergebnisse erzielen.
Vorhandene UnschΓ€rfe manuell nachzubearbeiten ist echt schwer...
