This Jerusalem journey made me see that despite what the newscasts portray, my hometown is a place where people do co-exist. Merely going to the clinic, grocery shop, bus or crossing the street one easily encounters the co-existence manifested in the city&#8217;s everyday life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Ultra High Resolution Panorama<\/h3>\n<p>The initial requirement was for a low resolution panorama, one that would show the location of various neighborhoods &#8216;without peering through windows&#8217;. Since the challenge was finding a day with reasonable visibility (and not the actual photography), I decided to push it a little further by using a 400mm lens, instead of the agreed upon 85mm.<br>Afternoon hours were selected for the eastwards view.&nbsp; After 4 visits to the Leonardo Hotel roof (previously known as the Sheraton) the big day arrived, poetically, on Israel&#8217;s Independence Day &#8211; therefore the flags.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 546px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Jerusalem panorama\" src=\"https:\/\/panorama.yaalherman.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/content-images\/atsmaut.jpg\" alt=\"panorama from the Leonardo\" width=\"536\" height=\"55\"><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Panoramic View from the Jerusalem Leonardo Hotel<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I took two sequences of about 550 images each with a Nikon D700 and a Nikon 400mm f3.5 lens without a teleconverter and a 85mm backup layer of about 90 images each (See illustration<a href=\"https:\/\/panorama.yaalherman.com\/en\/?page_id=192\">)<\/a>.<br>Exposure settings were: ISO320 1\/640 f11 on RAW converted by Nikon View NX2 software.
