Re: post your urban landscapes
Alexn: I like your picture "Kurilpa" a lot, it makes me think about Escher! I can tell from the tall building and the level walkway that your camera was properly leveled, but all of those other angles provide a very strange perspective. Bottom line, a very nice image of very interesting architecture.

Both photos are excellent but the second is outstanding!

I will post some notes in the darkroom thread about what I've learned, but this time I think the skies are "clean." Once again, everything is HP5+, developed in PMK, and these are "raw"negative scans, not finished prints (because I'm not very good with Elements11, I prefer to get my hands wet).
The first is the panorama I had in mind, it is an Elements11 merge of three 4x5 negatives; I haven't even touched the contrast or lighting, straight scan and merge. Except for the right-hand merge where the clouds had shifted, leaving an obvious "edge," it is what I had in mind.

The next is my re-do of the Freedom Tower framed by the lamp posts/lights on the Liberty State Park docks. This time I was paying more attention to the way the lamp posts fit into the frame.

And last, I noticed these two viewing binoculars ($0.25 for a view!) and decided to use them as another frame. I was using front tilt to keep the nearby viewers and the cross-the-river skyline in focus; looking at the result I should have also used rear swing to keep the railing horizontal. Good to have another excuse to go back!
