Description
After a bit of a break I continued my current passion for nighttime photography.

Consisting of 14 frames this image combines both HDR and panoramic techniques to capture a wide angle and the full detail of the image while avoiding completely blowing out the lights on the buildings.

Thanks Les,

I tend to use HDR fairly conservatively as often it will result in a terrible image with many horrid artifacts, that ends up being worse than just using a single exposure.

I have printed a copy and even on a cheap canon photo printer the result is quite pleasing.

Also I highly recommend "Digital Photography, fine print workshop" by George DeWolfe, a very informative and helpful read.

Most of the work was taken care of by the merge to HDR function of Photoshop.
After merging into two 7 frame stacks it's just a matter of feeding the results through a panorama stitcher of choice, and proceeding with a normal workflow for enhancing the image.
