Very nice David. Really like the crispness of the buildings.

If you check the other thread about Dallas skyline, I just posted a photo from the levee. Let's keep this thread about Austin skyline.

No attempt to hijack your Austin thread. I only wanted to share some knowledge with the quoted poster on the issue of shooting from the Trinity levees, in case he might be interested in looking for a good spot.

Nice shots, looks like Austin's skyline has changed quite a bit from just a couple of years ago when I visited.

You can get a beautiful shot from in front of St. Edward's University main building!!

One of the better skylines I have seen in a long time.

I'm glad this got bumped. Nice skyline. I prefer the version with more trees because it provides a lovely juxtaposition between nature/man but that's my interpretation. Both are lovely.

What lens did you use to create this skyline?

Thanks for the kind words! For these I used a Nikkor 70-200/2.8 VRII @ 200mm, 4sec, f/11, 8 exposures.

Here are a couple from my last trip to austin. Unfortunately I did not get the chance to actually get out on foot and do some better work.



This one is like the flip mode of your pano
