Out of fog Bay Bridge and Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco in fog and w:crepuscular rays.
I don't think they need to be parallel in the picture given the geometry. bamse (talk) 22:12, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
They all need to converge radially on a single point (the position of the sun) - MPF (talk) 22:25, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but can I take the rays in a 2D projection (the image, any image), extend them and will I end up at the sun in the same image (assuming it was included)? Actually on second look, I noticed that I might have mistaken a hole in the clouds for the shadow of the mountain. Possibly the uneven surface of the clouds on which the shadow falls could give the wrong impression you were talking about?! bamse (talk) 06:48, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not to say that the original (see below) I uploaded shows both shadows in one shot.--Mbz1 (talk) 15:44, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It is not a photo montage, it is a normal panorama photographed at the same time, the same date and the same place. All the images included in the other image you refer to were taken at the same place also. I am not sure how you could have thought I combined the images taken in a different places! This image is also a panorama photographed on the very same day,at the very same place, and at the very same time as the images used for the nominated image. And if you don't get it, it might be better to ask first than to make insinuations. --Mbz1 (talk) 03:32, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. I'm sorry about insinuation that they are totally different pics, but this just doesn't look realistic to me. The perspective doesn't fit. It's like you took the images at the same time and place, but from the different points. I see two different pictures here. And again, sorry about that insinuation, but I don't think this panorama is merged correctly. --Lošmi (talk) 04:45, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I used tripod to take the images. They all were taken from the very same place. The only thing that was moving from shot to shot was the tripod's head. --Mbz1 (talk) 05:03, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And to end all the suspicions I now uploaded one of the original (not post processed at all images . I do not remember, if this particular one was used to create the panorama (I took few sets, and I do not remember which ones I've used for the panorama), but it gives you an idea how it looked in the real life. Not even in a bad dream I would have thought about adding Golden Gate Bridge to the place it does not belong!--Mbz1 (talk) 05:49, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I could swear that this is not merged correctly. Sry, my mistake. Thank you for clearing all doubts. --Lošmi (talk) 06:13, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
