Behind the scene : how this panorama was made

Difficult shoot.<p.

No tripods are allowed so I had to jack up the ISO, and still had exposures of 1/4, 1/15, and 1 seconds for the HDR frames. I held the monopod as still as I could, but some of the shots, especially the 1 second ones, were a bit blurry.

Even though it was the middle of winter on a freezing day the number of tourists was a problem. Just as the place would start to clear out another tour bus would dump a load and the place would fill up again. I kept the monopod in one spot so as to maintain registration between the shots. I just kept turning around taking my shots hoping that I'd get a combination that would have the minimal number of people in view.<p>

All things considered it turned out ok, could be better, could be worst.<p>

Noise from the high ISO.
Blur from the long exposures and no tripod.
A dark room with deep shadows and bright lights.
Constantly moving crowd of tourists.
Did I mention it was cold?
