Hi MrFotoFool.
Very nice, I like the light trails.
Is that famous as in that is where some of the famous car chase sequences are filmed?

Cheers, Graham.

Hi GMC.
I really like the first shot, much prefer it to the other shots you shared, not that they weren't good, but this one seems to have that magic ingredients, it.
Aww, you went to Buck House! ;D Those people that show up must have stood stock still waiting for a glimpse of Her Majesty, bless them. :)
Very nice circular fisheye shot, what is the viewing angle of that, approaching 180deg?

Cheers, Graham.

I am afraid I am not a movie buff (almost never go to movies these days), so I cannot say. However the turns are so tight you can't go any faster than say 10mph, even if you are a professional racer. So I doubt they would use it for a chase scene. However they did use it in the old 360 degree panorama film at Disneyland showing various scenes of America.

Hi Graham, it's a Canon 8-15L fisheye. So yes at 8mm it's 180deg. Getting my feet and tripod out of the scene is very tricky.

Here's a few recent shots from a trip to London, not all cityscapes are wide. If a cityscape is a landscape in a city, then detail or telephoto shots surely are included in the remit?
