Thanks guys. And the best thing is: That's almost straight out-of-cam!

Fabulous Carsten, I can't believe it isn't cropped. Did you pan the shots with a tripod?

I added an "almost" to my sentence, because I have increased contrast a little, but the panorama itself is really straight out-of-cam.

No, Peter, I just held the NEX up and moved the cam to the right using the Panorama Feature of that cam. It's just fantastic!

And it was shot with the 18-55 kit lens which everybody says is "so bad". Wink

Interesting view. Sad to see the old London so overwhelmed by anonymous skyscrapers. Luckily when you walk in the middle of down town you can still see glimpses of the old town and avoid to have the new monsters in sight.

Oh no, Orio. What you can see is the new(ish) development in the old docklands area, east of the city - new office blocks for the banks mainly, plus a few newspapers.
The City and the West End, where the famous buildings are located, are away to the left in that picture, out of sight.
There are some new buildings there, for instance the Gherkin and City Hall, but I wouldn't say they overshadow very much.
Planning law is very strict.

There was a whole stretch of "docklands" abandoned when the Port of London self-destructed several years ago. Isle of the Dogs was the best known section and was the subject of a huge development that sent at least one major international developer into bankruptcy.

Orio, they rescued a lot of the old "tea warehouses in the region of the Tower, by turning them into megamillionaire apartments. They really are very strict about development in London - it's too crowded to play around and they do not have the corrupt bureaucracy that, for example, New York has.


Stunning picture Carsten
