Calgary Skyline & Panoramic Photographs

[Witty Nickname]

Will fix later.

[giallo]

That last pano is sick!

[plinko]

^No kidding. Incredible clarity.

[Jibba]

Calgary's built environment is quite impressive; the central area's cluster is very balanced and dense. Great pictures, too, by the way.

[wisla_krakow]

oh hell yeah.

[stupac14]

Ditto to what everybody already said. Awesome pics, awesome city.

[mersar]

That last pano is very nice. Not often you can actually see the letters on the hill in front of the hospital and actually be able to read what they say :) Seeing how many cars are in the parking lot there is also quite a shock, I didn't realise it got that full (and thats all hospital staff between the two hospitals in the area)

I can see 14 cranes in that shot alone, not bad considering its on the other side of downtown from where most of them were when it was taken (and 2 of those 14 are now gone)

[Urban Zombie]

Woo-wie, that's quite the collection. To echo every other post so far, the last one is the icing on the cake.

[Top Of The Park]

really love the night shots

[jowens]

Love it. Need to make a trip there! :tup:

[Ayreonaut]

Noiiice. Can't wait to get back home.

[Wooster]

You make some awesome panos. My favourite actually is the first autumn pano from crescent heights. One of the best views one can get of a skyline.

The last one shows how hilly the western half of the city really is.

[Surrealplaces]

Excellent Photos Nathen! I forgot how many panos you've done over the last year. That Autumn shot from Crescent Hill is money!

[Jimby]

a great collection of panos, the last one is amazing!!!

[Witty Nickname]

Thanks for checking out the photos!

My personal favorites are the 1st, 5th and the last image.

[stepper77]

Beautiful shots, all of them! As far as skylines, Calgary has quickly become one of my favorites in Canada. Thanks!

[hollow man]

Oh my! :slob: :slob: :slob: :slob: :slob: :slob:

You should sell that last pano to the Calgary tourist board and make $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ from it my man!

:tup:

[M II A II R II K]

The panos are great! And the skyline would be even better when those new 700 footers rise up.

[Spring2008]

Well done Regulator, you're Mr.Pano-man!!

[peanut gallery]

System requirements to view this thread: a super-wide monitor and waterproof keyboard for the drool. Simply amazing. Calgary's skyline is almost perfectly balanced and proportioned.

[TXLove]

Oh my.....Those are some of the best panos i've seen and the last one leaves me at a loss for words!!!!!!

[KevinFromTexas]

Awesome scenery.

[DLLB]

Excellent photos!

[somethingfast]

Awesome pics!

[mmmatt]

Great set regulator, Calgary is easily in my top 3 for Canada...

1. T.O.
2. Montreal
3. Calgary
4. Vancouver
5. Three way tie between Edmonton/Winnipeg/Halifax


I know it may sound like blasphemy to many but I honestly like it better than Vans. Not for sheer size obviously, but for interestingness (if thats a word).

Cant wait for the Bow to start peeking out :)

[CWEarl]

Great pictures. They totally make me feel homesick.

[Wigs]

Simply Phenomenal panoramas! awesome! I wish I could take photographs like that. (step 1 would be buying a decent camera hahah)

[Slug]

Here's one of my favorite ones I had on my hd

[You Need A Thneed]

Jamieson and Centennial are becoming quite prominent on the skyline, even at night in shillouette, I noticed last week.

They also add a good amount of blue to the skyline.

[Witty Nickname]

Is it wrong for me to say that Stampede Station actually looks decent in this pic? Maybe it's just the lighting, or because it's on the curtain wall side though.

[Calgarian]

great shot Bulliver.

Centennial and Jamieson are adding very nicely to that angle of the skyline, soon the Bow will too :)

Great shot! You'll have to go back next year and re-take this picture when Peace Bridge is finished. It'll really add to this view. :)

Here's the same skyline shot that I posted earlier, but wider and a bit clearer.

With Centennial, Jamieson, TCPL, et al, the Calgary skyline is looking much less beige than it used to. Thank god for that.

^Much less gray also. I'm enjoying the changing look of the north side.

Flippin' awesome shot. I love this angle.

I reposted in the Canadian section - I hope you don't mind.

[Chinook Arch]

^That is a great angle of the skyline. I never see pictures taken from there, but it's a good location.

[kap384]

Was totally thinking a few weeks ago on the train that the view from there was awesome, but very under shot. Good work.
