•  Support Nice shot, very good stitching. I like HDR that isn't glaringly obvious. --JaGa 08:01, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

•  Support Nice. Are you sure this is a HDR and simply not a panorama? If yes, how can you tell? Acarpentier 14:18, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

• I wish I could lay claim to some special HDR-sense, but JDrewes is right - the tooltip popup mentioned HDR. Otherwise, I never would have known. :) --JaGa 18:13, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

• He he ok, that's why... ;) Acarpentier 01:21, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

•  Support Nice (regarding technique, I would guess that this is not HDR, but simply a good panorama). --Thermos 15:37, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Nice balanced colors rare in night shots / amazing details (see planes on the left). --Meduz 14:08, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
•  Info I chose a 3-exposure setting with a distance of 0.7EV, which is not very much, in order to get a harmonic, not-too-flashy result. All images were of course hdr-processed before the stitching. PS: JaGa could probably tell from the image pop-up info ;-) --JDrewes 16:11, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

 Question Ok, I dont want to flood this place but I cant hold myselft asking you if that 3-exposure settings: is it a programmable feature of the d200 or you have to set them for every angle manualy? Acarpentier 16:31, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

• Many DSLRs have exposure bracketing, you usually set how far to under/over expose and that setting remains for future shots (until you change it). Your D80 seems to have some nice features for this :) Dori - Talk 18:52, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the info, I sure will check this ;) Acarpentier 19:22, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose Sorry, but I see heavy striping in the sky due to posterization. --MichaelMaggs 18:04, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Could you point out where the striping is? I don't see anything. At what scale are you looking at the image? --JDrewes 23:13, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

 Support Strange - it certainly was there on my screen at 100%, but now it's not. I can only suppose it was some random rendering issue, but anyway I'm now happy to support. --MichaelMaggs 22:37, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose There are three more San Diego Skylines in FP - Image:San Diego Reflecting Pond.jpg, Image:Sandiego skyline at night.JPG, Image:Moon Monster2.jpg --Jklamo 14:13, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Very clean and nicely stitched pano. but I find that water and sky are very bright, and in comparison, the buildings appear quite dark. -- Benh 22:32, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose I don´t like picture with this ratio of dimensions, is not possible to see them on screen in good quality. --Karelj 23:27, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
•  Support --Rollopack 07:09, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
•  Support, can't see any striping/posterization, and this is better than any of the other San Diego FPs apart from the moon monster one, in my opinion. --Aqwis 19:57, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
