Zinzius, your two photos of the Cincinnatti skyline are magnificent! The second one, with the colored reflections in the water looks very similar (except for the different location) to a panoramic photo poster my stepson bought when he was visiting Chicago.
Awesome, clear shots! What camera did you use for these?
"Thanks everyone,..Both of these are panoramics stitched with CS4,and both are HDR,made from 3-6 10mp Raw images per frame.I wanted to see what I could do with CS4,I took three overexposed images,all with diff focal points,then three correctly exposed with diff focal points,and three underexposed with diff focal points,then I merged all those according to focus,then I merged each set of exposures into HDR images.Then I stitched those HDR images together into a panoramic.So they are Extended Depth of Field HDR Panoramics,..
Scott Bourne explains the Extended Depth of Field better than I can in this video .. Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended Depth of Field Tutorial/Demo on Vimeo Basically I just combined that technique with HDR and Made a panoramic.Exposures times are around 10-30 seconds,and I was between f/16-f/22,with a Nikon D80."

Sounds way too complicated and/or time-consuming for me. No wonder your photos look so much better than mine!

This is mainly a lesson in Photoshop for me,but surprisingly once you get the process down it takes only minutes to merge everything.That said,it's hard to take a bad pict in a spot like that.I think almost any camera on a tripod,turn off the flash,turn on self timer,and you will likely end up with something nice.That's what I did with this one of me and the wife.One of my favorite picts,..

Those photos are the best I have seen! Great job! I do not understand anything you were talking about....I would need some kind of Photgraphy book for super dummies! Right now I am a point and shoot girl, hopefully I will take my new camera out of that mode and explore with future picture taking!
Hope you post more pics!
