Version plus large du panorama disponible ici.

Panorama de la ville de Boston, pris de l'observatoire de ville en haut de la Prudential Tower. On peut voir Charlestown à gauche de l'autre côté de la rivière Charles, le Commonwealth Avenue Mall et ses édifices rouges sur la gauche, la tour John Hancock au centre, l'autoroute Massachusets Turnpike (site du mégaprojet Big Dig!), l'Aéroport International Logan au fond et la baie de Boston sur la droite.
Ce n'est pas toujours évident de prendre des photos de l'intérieur d'une vitre, mais en choisissant l'angle et en maintenant la caméra le plus près possible de la vitre c'est possible d'éviter les reflets internes. Dans mon cas j'ai utilisé un mini-trépied appuyé par ses pattes de caoutchouc directement sur la vitre. Considérant que le revêtement miroir extérieur diminue la lumière disponible et allonge donc le temps d'exposition, ça m'a permis de viser soigneusement pour aligner l'horizon et coller ensembles 3 clichés pour réaliser ce panorama.


Skyline of the city of Boston,taken from the Skywalk up in Prudential Tower . We can see Charlestown on the left accross Charles River, the Commonwealth Avenue Mall and it's red brick buildings on the left, the John Hancock tower in the center, the Massachusets Turnpike Highway (site of the famous Big Dig! megaproject), as well as Logan International Airport far back and the Boston Harbor on the right.

It is not always easy to take pictures from inside a window, but by choosing the angle and maintaining the camera as close as possible it is possible to avoid the internal reflections. In my case I used a mini tripod supported by it's rubber legs directly on the window. Considering that the exterior mirror coating lowers the available light and so lenghtens the exposure time, it allowed my to carefully aim to align the horizon and stitch these 3 photos into a single panorama.

Hi Bruno!
I really liked this panorama of Boston, specially seen in its larger version!
As a matter of fact, I shall ask you: "How do we insert larger versions in here, at TE?"
Anyways... TFS - Congratulations!
Warmest regards,
Neyvan

Hello Bruno, excellent panoramic image of Boston, the skyscraper in the center of the image gives him to the composition a certain balance that I like, the color and the POV are very good, congratulations.

Greetings.

Very nice view Bruno, specially in the large version, lots of details!
Not bad considering it was through the window, and the stitching looks good as well.
