Panorama from the St. Peter Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a panorama taken from the tower of St. Peter's church and made up of three photos. In the center you can see a bridge called 'Vansu tilts' (thanks to davids for this information) over river Daugava, and left from it a new skyscraper of Hansa Bank. The church tower belongs to the Dome Cathedral (thanks to brants for this information). Anyhow, even though I visited the city for just a couple of days, I loved it. The medieval streets are fabulous and should be explored duly. I presume there are also other parts which are noticeable, if not for the historical reasons, but to show the life of the city.

Great photo I like it very much!
The church is Dome Cathedral. It's something like "central" church in Latvia.

Bonjour Alan,
une vue panoramique très réussie avec le POV et le cadrage qu'il fallait pour cela.
Très belles lumières chaudes fournies par unsoleil bas.
Bien à toi.
Daniel.

Hi Alan,

This is a fantasic panorama of Riga's skyline. The sunlight being cast upon "veca Riga" is gorgeous.

A rare panorama from the church, clear sky and well made. Good details throughout the photo, in the complete colourperspective, something I couldn't do with my camera.
The bridge is called the 'Vansu tilts' and the more I see it, the more I like it.
Glad you had a good time here,
I enjoyed the photo and the note,
regards,
D.

Hi Alan,
Excellent view of the city, seems to be worth a visit.
Great light and colours!
BTW - you have a spec of dust(?) on the right upper side...

I can see from your work that you love the panorama. It makes me want to try these but I need to know how you get the pieces to line up?

I've been playing with an accidental one for several days and am not happy with the results
