I don't know if you guys care... but I just thought this is one FANTASTIC shot of the Emerald city. Great exposure, very clear and very high res! [thumbup]

Nice picture..........Looks really good with the light and colors......And the Danish architecture

[Nfxutkpa]

I put it as a 4 x LCD screen wallpaper for someone here at work. [thumbup]

reduced the horizontal size to 5120 pixels and then (keeping aspect ratio), then reduced the vertical canvas size to 1024 pixels... so some slight cropping to the sky.

In the end it looks impressive spanning 4 x 19" LCD's.

Amazing shot!!

The detail is incredible, it almost looks rendered

It maybe is really composed of about 10 pictures stitched together. I can see a couple places in the water where images were stitched. Some really cool pictures can be made using that technique though. I like it!

I find stitching the best looking of panorama shots. Wide angle lenses warp the picture.

No doubt. I agree on that. Set your lens at around 75mm in the vertical position and pan around taking enough pictures to have plenty of over lap. Go to manual mode to lock your exposure also after doing some pre-metering..

wow, that is amazing, truly amazing. didn't know photos have gotten that good yet

My home town! [thumbup] Great shot indeed.... have it as a wallpaper on one of my notebooks.

Just around to the right of shot there under the Bridge is Milsons Point, where my friends and I usually go to sit after having dinner at North Sydney.

And see the tallest building in shot (it's quite dark, behind the tall building 2nd from the left with the blue light on top)... that's where Usied to work, and was the main building Tom Cruise infiltrated in MI:2.

Also, see the bulding with the blue cone on top of it, the next tall building to the right of that is the AXA Australia building, the one in which the helicopter flew into in The Matrix. [yes]

Although the pics looks about 3 years old becuase I cannot see the World Tower or National Towers, which both finished construction 2 years ago. The world tower being the tallest residential complex in the Southern Hemisphere.

Centerpoint/AMP Tower, although appearing shorter than some buildings in that shot is still the tallest strcuture, but is further back this implying that it might not be that tall, but it is.

And one last bit of trivia.. the sanstone Pilons either side of the Harbour Bridge hold no structural value whatsoever... they are just there to make the birdge look grand. [yes]

"rabble rabble rabble, death to cubase! Lets hang him from that damn world tower!"
Holly be-jesus batman!! I think Cubase pissed off some filthy Melbourne folk!

Well Melbourne takes the crown of tallest residential tower. The Eureka Towers. Though ofcourse still doesn't make the city as pretty as Sydney.


Also that pile-on fact is really interesting!

The world tower being the tallest residential complex in the Southern Hemisphere.

Only briefly until Q1 up on Surfers overtook it, which itself was again beaten by Eureka Tower down in melbourne, which is actually currently the tallest residential building in the world when looking at highest habitable floor. It doesnt quite beat Q1 for absolute height though because it lacks a spire, but yeah, floor wise its certainly one of the biggest around.

EDIT: Lenny beat me to it!

v. nice shot... might make a poster for my room out of it actually!

is the vertical res high enough to make it look decent printed out an A3 sheet - possibly over 2 or 3??

printer is Epson R1800 btw

cheers (yes i'm a printing/photo noob)

[Wezfyowk]

I'm sure that pic has enough resolution to be printed on almost anything.

Really depends on what DPI you print at.

ok, say i wanted it over 2 sheets of A3 i assume the max DPI would be overkill? is there any way to calculate what DPI you should use??

6120x1445 pixels will print 33.88 x 8.00 inches (860.6 x 203.2 mm
I did a test to see what would happen if I printed in A4 Landsacpe Full size. Needed 8x3 A4 sheets. That's a pretty long print!

That's only at 72dpi. Any decent print would at least be 300dpi.

At 300dpi, the picture would be 20.4 inches wide by 4.8 inches tall. Not super big by photographer standards. At work, I print off posters that are 42" tall by around 100" wide... for comparison. Most of the renderings I do are 8000 x 5500!

For comparison sake, I just downloaded a 29,000+pixel wide image from the hubble site....
