Hong Kong Panoramic #2
Hong Kong Island from Kowloon, Hong Kong, China
This is a response to the last panoramic i posted. It is taken overlooking the Hong Kong skyline from the Kowloon side, opposite that of the previous one which was taken on the Hong Kong peak. I used a total of 3 horizontal shots from my 30D and Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM, it was combined in Photoshop CS3 using Photomerge. Be sure to view the larger one to get the full effect (1.08MB).
