Stockholm - Blue Hour Panorama of Södermalm

            This is a 5 shot panorama stitched in Photoshop and exported to Lightroom for general adjustments.

Originally, I was going to take this shot with a newly bought Arca Swiss p0 monoball head. Unfortunately, I never got to B&H while I was in NYC since I didn't know they closed early on Fridays and I didn't realize I had Adorama's address until I was on my way to Stockholm. So this was done with the PHD62Q 3-Way head that came with the Velbon GEO E635 tripod. It's not a panning head but if you tighten the tension enough on one axis and level the head beforehand, you can force the head to move horizontally with minimal vertical movement. 

Main challenges for this shot (aside from panning without an actual panning head) was that I was on Gamla Stan at around the time that everyone was walking to get home. I had to time shots to avoid pedestrians, bicycles and trains leaving Stockholm Central Station from interfering in the shot. Oh and the fuzzy trees. I didn't actually think there was wind that night. Oh well.

Speaking of tripods and flights, I wish I knew beforehand that Canada and the US allows you to bring tripods as carry on luggage. Something to note for next time.
