Vancouver
Panorama of Downtown Vancouver, BC and the Inner Harbour, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
This view of Vancouver no longer exists. The Inner Harbour now has boathouses where these docks once were. The skyline has more buildings, the boat traffic increased and the water never appears this calm now.
This photo is a 30-second exposure using a Hasselblad XPan. The resulting 65mm x 24mm image film positive was scanned using a Canoscan FS4000US film scanner.architecturebuildingscitycityscapecloudslightsnightneonpanoramareflectionsskylineskyscraperwaterharborboatsxpanhasselblad

Hong Kong
Hong Kong skyline panorama at dusk, Hong Kong, China
The original image dimensions are 10865 × 3178 pixels (34.5 megapixels) composited from 2 sets of 22 photos (11 above, 11 below) with minimal HDR processing to bring out the color of the sky, clouds and water. Both sets of photos were shot at 70mm, f/8 and ISO 400 on a tripod with a panoramic head. The top half of the image was taken over a period of about 45 seconds to avoid ghosting of the clouds since they were moving quickly. The bottom half was taken at a more leisurely pace. The first set was at 0.5 second exposure and second set at 0.125 second. An HDR composite image was generated from the different exposures of each section and then stitched together for the final image.architecturebuildingscitycityscapecloudslightsnightneonpanoramareflectionsskylineskyscraperwaterChinastitched

Hatshepsut Temple
360° panorama at the Temple of Hatshepsut near Luxor, Egypt. Here's the QTVR version (705Kb) You'll notice a lot of ghost images of people. Normally I remove these ghosts, but left them in to show how this is not a static image.

Crater Lake
210º Panorama of Crater Lake, Oregon, USA and Wizard Island from the Watchman Overlook.
The color of the water has not been enhanced. The vivid blue color is the result of the dark water from the depth of the lake and the clarity of the air at high altitude.
The original image is 33.4 megapixels
