These two towers are close by to where I live. They make an impressive mark on the skyline. Without doing a panorama, or towerama as I call it, it’s virtually impossible to get a good “angle” to photograph them from.
There were actually 24 photos taken, 12 x HDR and 12 x non-HDR, 3 wide by 4 high Landscape. iPhone 4s photos are 8 megapixels. The towerama was stitched with PTGui Pro.
Both toweramas use “vedutismo” projection, which is the one I use most commonly, because photos look more “right” or “true” and I get maximum usable photo space on the finished panorama.
The first photo only uses the 12 HDR images, and is more “true to life” (master 117 megapixels) :
The second photo uses all 24 images (master 79 megapixels), and a bird has managed to get in shot :

Don Charisma 
you know, I keep following your blog because I can get a sense of the rest of the world I miss visiting myself. Thanks for posting…
My pleasure, I try and keep it random … I think it’s good to share everyday things here that other people may not have seen …
I am not sure twin towers is accurate. More like twin flats.
So sue me LOL
Thailand is strongly influenced by the Americans, so it’d probably be more like twin-condos 😎
The second one is stunning with more contrast and more interesting structure: one standing out in the foreground the other receding a bit. Twin doesn’t always mean identical. 😉
Thanks. In real like they are identical in size and shape … I was pleased with the first photo as it gives a good impression of the real angles, whereas the second one has got the “fisheye” curve, but it seems that a lot of people like the second one, so maybe I shouldn’t worry about it in the future !
I like the second one too, Don. Your pictures are fun.
Thanks Laura 😎 I like to mix it up, that way readers don’t get bored!
You are never boring! BTW..thanks for following my blog! 😀 I don’t know if you realized it, but you followed my 52-week challenge blog not my regular blog.
LOL, I try not to be, keep it interesting 😎
That’s one more follower then 🙂
🙂
That bird looks like he is having some issues 😉
I like the perspective on the second photo.
The first one is kind of “truer” perspective, but I liked the second one (which was actually the first) as well … what kind of “issues” you reckon the bird is having LOL ?
I’m concerned he may have hit an invisible wall 😉
LOL, I kinda like him, I double taked when I saw him in the shot, occasionally I get a bird in shot … you’d have me clone tool him out or change his angle so he looks like he’s flying ?
I would never suggest you do such a thing, however if it were my photo….. 😉 😉 lol
You are certainly very tactful Suz, and I do appreciate your feedback, it’s useful … honest !
bwhahaha…. remove your tongue from your cheek lol 😉
You seem to be mistaking me for someone who doesn’t say what they mean !
Striking. 🙂
Thanks, it’s probably one of the most ambitious panoramas that I’ve done so far 😎
