cityscape.
I took a few series of panorama photos. Once I stitch them I'll post it up.

That's pretty cool. Where did you take this from? I'm guessing it was the little overlook on Mulholland, above the Hollywood Bowl, but the angle doesn't look quite right.

looks like a model... Very interesting shot.

Great Work!It's amazing how flat LA is.

Looks like a scene out of T2, just before the huge flames come in Sarah Connor's dream.

yeah thanks, it's definitely got that post apocalyptic vibe to it.

Imperitus & jopfin, it's funny, a few other people I've showed it to said it looks like a model. I guess the IR gives it a kind of surreal fakeness or something.

That is definetly way cool.

Very nice work. It is amazing what the end result looks like.

I love these. I'm trying to figure out why it looks like a model - did these look like that out of the camera, or did you do some post that helped with that effect? Regardless, they are wonderful images.

ACK! I guess it would help if I actually LOOKED AT THE SUBJECT LINE - ha! IR - that explains why it looks this way. Nice!

looks like a big commet's gonna hit it.

[Gienek]

Its looks like its not real, I LOVE It!

[Maureen Souza]

Cool....you have a very artistic eye, Duder. Your work is amazing.

[Keiffer]

Wow, that's wild! Man the more I see of IR the more I like it! Fantastic Pano!

[Duder]

thanks guys, it's a while since this thread was last active. I actually redid that pano recently because there where a few things that bothered me about it. My PP skills have improved a lot since I first tried it.

you gotta tell me where this spot is.... if you're lookin down no the observatory, that's pretty high. Awesome.

[Duder]

it the taken from the top of the hill behind the observatory in Griffith Park. Good place for hiking and views.

[nactos]

really? i've been there but the trees are totally in the way... I guess I didn't go high enough....

Nice job Duder. Excellent image and worthy of the accolades.

[nactos]

CONGRATS... we knew it was a winner. not keep postin cool pics.

[Mgdh]

Well done Duder.

Your IR shots are excellent and it's good to see others recognise it too.

[Duder]

thanks. I'm looking forward to seeing it printed out that size.

[Wasiq]

Id like to see it in color if you shot it in non-IR? looks awesome though.

[Jon Foster]

Nice work and congrats!

Jon.

[u2wedge]

Reminds me of those Explorer photos that were beamed back from Mars... that's a compliment! Very nice work!

the colour version isn't that great, it's kinda dark gray/green land and brown smog-filled sky. The IR really brightens up the foreground with all the white foliage.
