Hotel window view - Jakarta, Indonesia

Nikon D700 + Nikkor HC 50mm f/2

A question on the name of this Theme

I get that these are like panoramas
And that we didn't use stitching to make them.

In other circumstances, many might describe the format of these images as "Letterbox" maybe?
(plus, no one expects you to need any stitching to make a Letterbox image.......  )

This isn't a request - just a random observation.

Got me curious - Letterbox, widescreen:
Wiki: "Letter-boxing is the practice of transferring film shot in a widescreen aspect ratio to standard-width video formats while preserving the film's original aspect ratio."

Yes, I guess we do the same, just leaving out the dark upper and lower bars of the TV/monitor. When I use my panos on my 16:9 monitor as background, there are dark bars above and below :-)

I love this Hans
You've got the colour balance just right so there's a great warmth in the buildings & streetlights and the sky's naturally blue whilst showing the warmth of the setting sun too.

I love proper snow, but where I live in the UK we've had about 1cm since winter started.
4° C yesterday was about as cold as its got so many parts are flooded instead of the crisp and white scenes of your pic

Many thanks, Colin - I'm very happy with your comment on color balance. It was late and not much light left on the buildings, but still a bit of vey low warm sunlight - I've tried to balance both.

Hope you've had some snow in UK since your comment - we still have winter and these days yet another snow storm. 

These retrospective look backs on camera evolution have been fascinating.

Esp your Les, as I moved from Pentax K (1978) to Minolta before arriving at Nikon.
Never owned any Canon or Sony gear. And I've never been restricted by compatibility (but my needs are modest)

Construction of new town hall, cost Euro 118m

equals 40000 new Z8. Don´t know if this is much or not in comparison, but I sometimes feel dizzy, hearing all those actual numbers
