Hi Dave, thanks for your comment. That night, it was rather grey and rainy, and I had to balance the tripod on the balcony railing, so I didn't dare to leave it there in between the individual shots. That explains the different angles and different compositions; the images are uncropped. I think I should've emphasised the inevitable differences in angles more conciously, although I would've preferred to keep the composition of each of the three images identical to another... Unfortunately, that just wasn't possible...
Cheers,
Hugo

I like the concept and assumed that you had left the camera motionless for the whole shoot. You may have but then in post production, you are slightly off in each of the croppings. Not that it matters that much, it still is a interesting concept.
Best,
Dave

Hi Dennis, thanks for the feedback!
Interesting thought you pose about the shift in the angle; Considering the circumstances, I had to remove the camera and tripod, as it was raining on and off that night, and I didn't want to leave the camera (balanced on the tripod on the balcony) unattended in the rain.
In hindsight, I think I should've dealt with the inevitable shift of angle more deliberately, Leveling the middle one with the horizon, and letting the lowest photo point down (on the left) for example.
Cheers,
Hugo

What a fun idea, well conceived and carried out. I enjoyed each of your triptychs, but this one is my favourite. I like the motion suggested in each scene. It reminds me of some art films I've seen, particularly one called Chronos by Ron Fricke.
I noticed that the angle changes somewhat from image to image and at first I thought I would have preferred the exact same angle (set the camera on a tripod and leave it exactly the same for each shot). But the more I thought about it the approach you took gives it a more human sense, it's like a person kept walking over to the edge of the roof to see what was happening over the course of an evening. So I take back my first impulse and simply say: Well done!

Wow... By far my favourite one in the project (though I liked the glittering lake..). I just LOVE long exposure, and here you present a story... that a mind rushes to fill in the gaps of time between the pictures... Very interesting angle as well...
I love night photos, I think cities dress up in light at nigth... Just waiting to be photographed... :-))

Dear Hugo,
Bottom Line Comment:
"Have you ever heard of the 'umbrella effect' ... ?"
Especially where you can attach it to a tripod reversed or otherwise as such with a strobe for studio shooting?
Therefore ... no excuse at all for the different angles unless this was a high crime camera area but nothing that a bottle of wine consumed over a three hour time span couldn't have taken care of right ... Right?
Rating: 1 for the top, 1 for the middle, and 2 for the bottom, therefore you will have a combined rating of 4 in a matter of seconds, minutes, or hours depending when you are online ...
Just kidding of course ... didn't rate it at all because you know I am a sarcastic teaser ... Right?:))
P.S. I do really believe in umbrellas though for some practical reason and why not ... can you blame me for that?
I guess you 'Inferno Engineers' may perhaps lack some basic common sense ... LOL!

I feel really horrible that I missed this when it was first posted - great concept. Maybe a location that you fell into rather than selected?
Good treatment, interesting repetition - I hope to get this on a seasonal level some day.

the traffic and pollution.. fine the perfect white arrow in the first frame.., the long lines of light in the second and the stunning "OPEN LIGHT" in the evenening in the last frame!
realy nice, and good idea..

Hi John...:) I took this photo from the balcony of the Blue Horizon hotel in Vancouver, Canada, allright.... The weather didn't change, as it was quite nasty for the tree days we've been there. Low clouds, and the occasional drizzle, followed by more rain. I felt right at home...:)
Cheers,

Hi Hugo,
pretty cool stuff! You are into the triptych area for a long time now, and you seem to have fun with the theme =)
I like it how you focus on the motion theme with either speed or long exposure. good work!

Hi Lori, When I sharpen using Unsharpen Mask, I use an amount of 50 - 75%, a radius of 1.5 and a threshold of 0 or 1.
I didn't want to leave my camera out in the drizzle for too long, which explains the changing angles. I just wish I had chosen more prominently different angles...:)
Cheers,
Hugo

Hi Petal, thanks for the feedback. I do agree on both counts. I explained the first in my reply to Manu and Roger, the second is only very subtle. Don't think I could've gotten it out of the camera any darker, there was a low cloud cover, and the light polution was rather big that night... Oh, well, can't have it all, can we?
Cheers,
Hugo

Hi Roger, Thanks for your feedback! I do agree with the identical angle theme too, but as I replied to Manu, I didn't want to leave the camera out in the rain on a small balcony... Maybe I should've introduced a more prominent difference of angles, if I would've thought about that when I shot these. This one is the third already, but the motion theme will continue...;)
Cheers,
Hugo

Hi Manu,
thanks for your feedback. I have to agree with you, that three identical angles would've been better. the thing is, that I didn't want to leave my camera out in the rain on that eenie weenie balcony.... I think I should've thought of that, and introduced a wider variety of angles. I looked for a similar image to replace the lowest one, continuing the rotation and angle introduced with the top two images, but there was none.
the Flik-book remark does make sense.... I thought about that one too. Soon after I took the darkest photo, the car was gone....:)
I definitely had a good time! I guess I'll be boring you with those photos over the next few weeks...:)
Cheers,
Hugo

Hi Hugo
Good piece of work...reminds me of those "spot-the-difference" pictures normaly found in newspapers..? I think the 3 images work better as stand alone images. For them to fit as a threesome I think they need to be shot from an identical position in all three.
This would persuade me to want to flick back and forth to each shot for comparision....almost like a flik-book...for example I want to know why has the red car on the roof top parking not moved for hours?
Hope this makes sense....good to see you're back and trust you had a great time?
Speak soon
Cheers
Manu

Welcome back, Hugo! I've miseed you. Now THIS is what I call an imaginative use of the panorama display feature! Nice JPEG compression there, no artifacts as far as I can see. I tend to agree with those who would prefer to see the identical angle maintained so that the other differences of motion, weather, colour, contents, etc., can be compared one-on-one. I also feel that greater contrast might have enhanced the triptych effect. You've obviously found a goldmine of visual opportunities here, and I look forward to seeing you mine it over the coming days.

Super idea, good execution!! Wonderful colors, great view, collage and composition... well done!! But... I have two little remarks: Firstly... in this triptych number one and three almost have the same angle of view, number two is/looks more tilted... IMHO this would 'work' even better if they were more identical. Secondly... I love the exposure on one and the difference in lighting conditions between one and two is great... between two and three could've been more/I would've liked it if three was even darker... well that's me. Still think this is a great 'job'... ;-D

Having just been playing around with Google Earth, this really struck a chord with me this evening!
I really like the three individual images, full of colour and interest, and each one a great urban night scene. The full size pano is quite stunning.
But perhaps the triptych would benefit from having exactly the same point of view for each image, and a more pronounced difference in light between the second and third images?

HI Hugo,
Interesting, kind of like 'time lapse' photograph, in a way!
A really nice sequence indeed. Good coloring and great details. (what do you put the threshold at when you do your sharpening?...just curious)
This would have been really interesting also, had the camera been left on the tripod so the lines and buildings all would have been exactly the same!
Good work.
Great to see you back online!
Lori :)

Where did you take that picture really? If it was Canada, shouldn't the weather have changed in those few hours? Cool idea and doing it from a balcony instead of street side is an added treat.

Excellent mini-series Hugo. As already stated, the lines cuased by the lights and moving vehicles add a lot of motion to the images. I tend to disagree with Elisa though, I think the slight changes in angle add another element of change to the series - fact is, we never see any scene identical the second or third time and like time (and the trafic), our perspective is also constantly changing. A static viewpoint would be more appropriate in the first of the series (matter of seconds). Great work.

Hi Hugo, and welcome back! I like how the pictures gradually become more colourful as the light changes. As to the angles, I´d like them to be identical in all pics - perhaps as in the bottom one. Interesting work, well done :)

That's fast.. Expected you to be away for longer..;-) Nevertheless, good to see you're back again and with an other nice and original triptych.. I like that, especially in the first shot, the timing is just long enough to suggest speed and short enough not to make lines out of all the cars..
Anyhow, well done..
