The year 2007 was my most productive year in panoramic photography so far. I did not count them, but I think I made more than 50 panoramas this year. However not all of them are stitched yet. I could not decide which one was my best, so I took a new one. I used my favorite technique for this panorama. Shooting with a pole above the heads of the people. This gives a unique point of view, that I like very much.
Here are some links to more of the panoramas I shot this year:

Panoramas of Munich

Panoramas from the largest fair of the world (bauma)

Assorted panoramas, also older work

Trivia

The ice rink you see is installed on the Karlsplatz (or Stachus) in the city center of Munich. In summer there is a fountain instead.
