I spent the week in Chicago and got out one evening to the planetarium to grab a city scape shot at blue hour. Lens is the FA77 on the K3II. 22 frames x 2 levels of exposure(44 images total), manually stitched and blended in Photoshop.

order of shots: its a single row with lots of overlap. 20 frames x 2 exposures(0&-1.7)= ~40 total. With peri-sunset panos, because the light is changing so fast, I start at the dark end (ie, away from the sun), metering to overexpose a little, knowing that by the time I get to the sunny end of the frame, the light will have diminished. So, I started at the far right and worked as quickly toward the left. The other consideration with clouds is to always shoot against the cloud motion to avoid getting the same cloud repeating itself in successive frames. Luckily, all cloud traffic was traveling southeast, so it worked out.

Old photo and comment but i guess it got revived, but I learned so much from this process thanks!

Beautiful scene and a technical tour-de-force creating the panorama.
