Finally took the new into work and took more shots from the office windows.
As suggested I used polarizing filter & lens hood.
Also tried Tele & Wide lenses.

Looks great! It's been a while, but it certainly seems like you got better results than last time--what is your feeling? I only see one image (401) where there are any reflections apparent--with a 360 in bright sunlight, that's pretty good!
Edit: It's monday, so I forgot that your original series was still linked at the top of the thread. Whoops. Just reviewed, and definitely an improvement--especially with the shots that are at an angle to the window. You could probably re-shoot #401 a few hours later as a workaround, since the sun will be at a different angle (and one of the other views would be hard to capture at that time).

I envy your view and location!

Wow, that is quite a view!

I have a nice view, too, but with a screen and dirty windows:

I only looked at one (#0116).
What are you complaining about - you're getting good shots.
A little criticism - under the circumstances, there is little excuse for not getting the horizon straight.

He was getting significant reflections in some shots. Even 116 has one--to the right of the left-most red crane, one building over, there is a narrow, light band from the horizon upwards.
It's much more visible in other shots later--389's are visible in the thumbnail.
It appears as if the hood and polarizer have eliminated all but the most severe of these in his second round.

You can get hot-shoe attachments such as the following from B&H Photo (external link). :)

Is everybody seeing the correct web page ??

www.champnet.co.uk/sth​2/ (external link)

The first image is #100 and is of the Swiss Re Building.

Images 116 & 389 are on the old page taken with the A10....

I can see image 100 - but I couldn't tell you what its proper name is though.

David,
Sorry for the confusion--I'm definitely seeing the new images at /sth2/ I was just clarifying for Bob what the original issue in the images at /sth/ were. Not sure if he viewed the newer ones or not.

Rudge,
I've eyed that exact add-on before, but it's pricey! I've thought about making my own. It just seems like a pretty simple thing to build into a camera. Electric hand drills 1/10 the price of a good camera have them...

You're not wrong about the price. :eek: I've got one, but only because I had inherited it. I've just done a search on eBay, and can find the same thing for a buy it now price of GBP6.45.

How could that possibly be so expensive? you could buy a nice wooden 5-foot carpenter's level with several built-in levelling bubbles for half that price, and a plastic string level for a buck or two. Photographers are like audiophiles, nothing's ever good enough or expensive enough to make them happy. : ) Slam a bullet level across your flash shoe and save yourself $60. : )
