In the month I have been using the 17mm TSE, one of the things I learned, was not to do panoramas like this one. Shifting the lens along the longer side creates just so much more distortion, than shifting it along the short one, that it’s just not worth it. On this shot, you don’t see it that much, as the buildings were quite close and are uniform, but once you use it on a wide landscape for instance, it’s very noticeable.

Btw. the other thing I noticed, was, that photos I edited on the Surface Pro 4, look crazy sharp when viewed on my normal monitor. I really wonder why, since I used the exact same way of sharpening I always do.

This is a three shot panorama, taken at La Defense in Paris.

I have really mixed feelings about this photo. It’s a different color variant of a photo I posted earlier, taken on a different day, with the same composition. I really like how the different colors of the Eiffel tower make it look, but than I always remember why there is a Belgium flag there, and that makes it quiet hard to like it :/. I do wish there were more happy reasons to change how the tower looks, instead of these sad ones.

While I was in Bordeaux, I really wanted a photo of the mirror fountain (Water mirror – Le Miroir d’eau). To bad, it was still too early in the year, so there was no water in it, so no mirror. Still, I went out to it in the morning to get few shots, and here is one of them. This is of course not the water mirror, that was right behind me when I took this shot :)

This is a single exposure, edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Most of my shots from recent travel are from blue hours. With the weather and absence of any leaves on the trees, this is for me the best way to get some color into the shot here :). This is mostly a single exposure, I used a second, darker one to darken few spots, especially a strong light that shined right onto the tower.

I needed a bit of a rest after all the traveling around, so there have been no updates in few days (but I will catch up :)). But now it’s time to get back to work and edit and edit and edit.

So here is another vertorama taken in the La Defense part of Paris. This one was taken right from the ground level, looking up a bit. This is a three shot vertorama, edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.
