Description It's a San Francisco downtown view

Besides San Francisco downtown, actually it goes wider to Bay Bridge to Treasure Island. And it creates a illusion that San Francisco is like an island, so I give it a name "San Francisco Island."

With the beautiful blue sky, "San Francisco Island" is like a wonder land.


Camera: Canon 40d
Lense: Canon EF 28-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS USM

This panorama is made by 36 pic~
It's so sad that deviantArt only has 1600 wide preview.
This version has a original size over 30 feet long.

Where exactly was this taken? It looks like a pier off of the Embarcadero, but I can't tell where.

That is amazing! How long did it take you to shoot 36 photos?

Shooting 36 photos was not very long. But I spent so much time on stitching them together. Even though photoshop has an automated function and runs on a very good PC, it takes more than an hour to stitch them together

hmm...I hadn't even thought of that.
Even having 36 photos open in photoshop is sure to put a bit of stress on your machine. Did you find that you had to use a panoramic tripod head or did you just use a regular one to take it?

Looks awesome either way. Great job

Actually, I didn't use tripod. I didn't bring it with me that day. And I remembered that I took two rows of photos, top row for the sky and buttom row for the city.
