Doha skyline

Doha has a spectacular skyline at night, although I’m not really sure this image fully conveys it. It was pretty comical trying to take this, as it was downright cold on the waterfront, and even colder on the concrete I was sitting on, plus the surface I thought was flat for the camera was actually convex. I should have stayed longer and tried a different exposure, but at that point I just wanted to get back to the warm hotel.

Nikon D810 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED

An inspirational panorama

Yes, a great image, and I agree with Dan - crop off the top and bottom, keep the vertical pixel dimensions and stretch it across the screen, it would be a superb panorama.

Beautiful seen and composed.
Dan Greenberg22-Feb-2015 17:28
Actually I think you achieved a very nice exposure of it. The only thing I think tat would make this better is a big crop across the bottom and top to make it more of a panoramic. Wonderful to look at. ~BV~
