Description
This panorama of Seattle's south side was taken as a single hand-held shot from the back seat of a moving airport shuttle van using a 12mm-70mm zoom lens and manual settings. I had tried it a month earlier with disasterous results (wrong shutter speed and aperture settings). Second time was the charm.
Several significant landmark buildings include Safeco Field (stadium on extreme left where the Seattle Mariners play baseball), Qwest Field (next stadium to the right where the Seattle Sea Hawks play football), the Space Needle with a rotating restaurant on top, and the 76 story tallest building in Seattle, The Columbia Center.
ZOOM worthy.

A great capture from the method you employed. Nearest I got to Seattle was Vancouver a few years ago.

That is one heck of a shot from a moving vehicle! You're right - you just HAVE to see this one at full-size! The closest I've been to Seattle was Portland, OR. many years ago when I was a kid. Had an aunt & uncle that lived there (both gone, now). Such magnificent country up there in the north west. Awesome shot, Bill!

So many familiar sights here---this is a great shot, and even more amazing is you caught it on the move!!

I know just where you were when you took this. That's a great spot on the freeway for taking photos of the city ... as long as you're not driving!! :P Well done -- I'm glad you gave it another try -- this is excellent!

Fantastic shot Bill this is great for a single shot well done on getting it right with the second attempt!!

Holy mackerel, you really outdid yourself in this amazing panorama, Bill, especially considering the conditions you panned this view in! That said, I'm going to sit up close to the monitor and memorize the entire cityscape.

Excellent shot of the skyline!

A gorgeous scenic view indeed! I love all the details you've captured of such a wonderful place! Now I can say I understand why they're "sleepless in Seatle"... I would be too, if I could go on a journey to admire all these wonderful places! A marvellous composition Bill!!

Excellent detail and clarity in the Pano! Well done indeed.

This is, most definitely, a zoomer! What details and I love the panoramic scope of this. I love the clarity, the color, the whole sense of sleek, urban mood that remains clean and sleek. Great work.
