The beautiful part of the city is that you have mountains on one side of the city and sea on the other :D...

Canon Photostitch :P

Using it for the first time... Dammm... Never knew its so easy to use :P
I've used PTGui a few times... its another brilliant piece of software... much better that Canon Photostitch :)
 
your series of shots are excellent examples for understanding effects of flash, ISO, Shutter speed.

first image has flash on so the highlighted leaves are in centre while edges are relatively darker a limitation of inbuilt flash.

now second, third, fourth are as you can infer same shots with different iso settings while 80 ISO has better clarity but less light, 400 ISO has more ight with appreciable noise while 800 ISO shot has lot of noise almost rendering the shot useless.

fifth shot is excellent piece of hand shake.

last one is fine but the focus areas are widely apart and differently lit so takes the sheen away, apply some crop and do some unsharp mask which may bring out the image more better.
 
@switch : did you take the phots in cnotiguous shots mode i mean taking photos with stitching later in mind and keep something common between two consecutive shots.

if yes then i wonder how cmoe there is skewing like fisheye view.

if not then its really an excellent shot, slightly blurred on left side

any ways a praise worthy shot really :clap:
 
Here are some more which i clicked today errrr........ its 12:05 so yesterday :)

















This one is my favorite :D





PS: some pics need cropping to be done :)
 
Since everyone seems to be doing macro, here's mine :P. Took it with the 50mm lens inverted. Had to manually focus by moving camera back and front :rofl:. Not sharp as i wanted it to be but its impossible to focus correctly without a focus ring :P. Oh and on top of that the stupid razer logo flashes.... cant be set permanently on :|.
