Info This image was stitched from 14 segment × 3 exposure by Canon EOS 400D with Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM at 70mm focal length. It was downsampled from 21.1 megapixels to 8 megapixels. The weather on that day wasn't perfect, but it is adequate to show Wan Chai District. The lower part of the image cannot be taken due to trees and terrain blocking the way. Any edits are welcomed as I am not an expert in Photoshop. Thank you!
Neutral -- One of the better night panos (I don't like night views) but support withheld only because of a remaining stitching error (34.0% from left, 5.2% from bottom). Lycaon11:29, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I do not like how the buildings are cut at the front of the image and a tight crop at the image top.--Mbz114:04, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I live in Hong Kong; I can tell that photo-taking right in that location has to face a scenetic difficulty: there is a hill blocking the view in front. That location geotagged is the most suitable location for shooting Wan Chai.--dbslikacheung04:12, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I know there could be some difficulties in taking any photo, but who said that an image of Wan Chai should be represented in FP? IMO it is a quality image, but FP should have also something else, like a good composition, for example, which the nominated image is missing IMO.--Mbz114:04, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, I'm no fan of the way the buildings are framed either. Tight crop at the top as mentioned is bothersome as well. Shereth17:23, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose (for now I think). It's a nice picture, which reminds me this. I'd like to see the stitching error fixed too. I'm not really convinced with the HDR processing. See the red neon reflection on the water. There's also something wrong with the clouds, thought I couldn't tell exactly what. Did they moved between the successive shots ? (42 long exposures shots in total, they must have moved). Benh06:53, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Let me thank your comment first. Firstly, I'm now trying to fix the stitching errors, it is mainly due to inadequate control points in a few segments. Secondly, I believe the excessive red neon reflection is not caused by HDR processing, but because I made too much highlight recovery(told you I'm not an expert in photoshop :-) ), and I'll try to improve on it. Thirdly, I shot the segments in horizontal sequence. I'm sorry that I couldn't figure out what problem in the could you were refering to. If you are regarding the colour of cloud, I can tell that its normal.
FYI, I set the HDR compression to "0" in order to preserve the most detail for post-processing. Then I converted from 32bit TIFF to 16bit TIFF, and adjusted the curves for better contrast. At last, I converted to 8bit JPEG. --βαςεLXIV™09:21, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
