Thanks for compiling these Tmac. I like the one in post 6 as it shows most of Motijheel / Kakrail area, albeit at a distance.

BTW if any of you guys know how to take pano shots, please share the knowledge! I will attempt one the next time I am in BD, if I have learnt by then.

hey Tmac I have a question and anyone who knows please chime in..

In that picture of sadarghat, the buildings to the east of the river, are they on the other side, i.e. not the Dhaka/old town side?

If they are on the other side, it'll come as a surprise to me. I only crossed over once and there weren't many buildings on that side.

Hard to tell from the picture, but I think the city side is on the left, since most of the boats are docked there. The opposite bank is quite built up by now although there are not very many high rises. Here is a picture of Ruplal House from my Historic Dhaka thread - in the background you can see how dense the opposite bank is these days.

I think the near side is Jinjira and accross the river is where the city starts. Ruplal house is a piece of artwork. Any idea if government has any plans about it?

^^ No plans that I know of.

Oneday I'll learn how to take panos with a real good cam...till then concede this :) ...I tried one with my mobile handset yesterday.

Nice pictures guys.

Tareq79, you have nice mobile handest with camera. There is a thread for cellphone photography at:

^^ That is a really nice shot.

I think the highrise building seen in the pano below is Grameen Bank. I like the effect with storm clouds. Actually that's how it's looking outside my house just about now...

^^ This park belongs to BD Army, that's why so green and clean. Not for general public though.

The scene is quite dark and it does not depict anything particularly interesting. It's not a bad photo but I don't think it would make a very good banner.

A very nice photo, no doubt...but if reduced to banner size those buildings may not appear as convincing.

Thanks for the new pics, Tmac...I think I see Enu in that Eskaton pic :)

Great photos Tmac. I especially like post 47. There are some talented pano-makers out there.

dont we already have these same pictures in other threads?

only a few from the first and second page. None from this page were posted in any other thread before.

Motijheel-Baitul area. I can see atleast 6 under construction buildings in this photo.

^^ Awesome shot. Tmac you should get Mr. Aminul to go to Mirza's rooftop and do a Motijheel pano from there.

Can't believe how beautiful the Crescent lake neighborhood looks! Wasn't anything like this when I used to ride my bike around there, back in my grade schools days. Thanks to Zia's mausoleum?

A kewl pic by Arian Angel (scroll right ---> ) :

http://www.panoramio.com/photos/original/25190359.jpg

^^ Can't see the picture.

^^ Can't see the picture.

I can see the pic fine myself but it is hotlinked so that may be the problem. It's a very big image and I don't know how (or where) to upload images more than 1024 pixels across to free image hosting sites, so I hotlinked it...sometimes that causes problems. Is there any way I can upload large photos for free? Or, is there anyone with a "pro" account who could upload the photo for us? Tmac used to have no problems with the higher resolutions so I guess he had paid for an advanced account.

As with most panos shrinking the picture really takes away from the effect but here it is anyway below. Those of you who don't have a problem with the hotlink can see it on the previous page. It shows the Kawran skyline taken from an atypical angle, from the northeast.

^^Nice cloud PIC of the late summer kind (shesh boshonto).

Looks like Motijheel colony built in the 60's?

The pic is taken looking at Kawran Bazar from northwest I think, so probably in or around Tejgaon.

Thats a great shot of the Kawranbazar skyline Tan

Credit to the photographer of course, though I must learn how to take panos myself one of these days. But the question is...what is our star photographer doing up at this hour of the night?

Haha..well..i stay up late almost everynight.I believe in the saying "Nishobdotay manush tar nij porichoy khujeh pay":nuts:
During the night,I read news,upload pics,try to write poems,watch movies and all kinds of things.Obviously i would have to change my habits once i start my uni life:ohno:

Heh heh -- enjoy your single status while you can. Once you're married than there's absolutely no 'me' time to be had at all...your time is booked way ahead and even without consulting you.

Any Canon camera (even the cheapest) comes with easy panorama software. Very easy to do.

Look here (http://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/photostitch.htm).

I know what you mean...I have seen my sis throw away the newspapers in the bin so that my brother in law doesn't spend time reading them. :lol:

In these modern times --once you're married, then all time has to be spent with the wife, regardless you're in or out of the house. I think fashionable upper middle class Bengali girls these days have exceeded the reasonable limits that even Western girls allow. The following activities are usually frowned upon and not negotiable...

-- No newspaper reading
-- No watching the game
-- No hobbies unless they involve her (music & photography are okay, playing the tabla while she sings is absolutely divine)
-- No outdoor activities (unless spent with the family)

Forget about some 'buddy time' with the guys on the weekends. You're as good as neutered :(

BTW -- don't get any ideas about me here. I'm talking girls nowadays and not your Bhabi.

Sorry about the OT post. Now back to our regular thread.

What if the girl herself is into newspaper reading or watching the game or has her hobbies.

Yeah..thats the kinda girl I need:)

Looks like the forum is a get away for some folks here :lol: If you can't hang out with friends, might aswell spend the time online..

But keep posting the inside stories.. apparently my mum found the "perfect" person,I can foresee lot of trouble during my December trip to Dhaka :ohno:

Yeah..thats the kinda girl I need:)

Thats the kind we should all date then. :righton:

^^ agree :D

There is a branch of mathematics called probability, now we all want a similar kind of a girl from the above disucussion, so lets see our chances of getting one:
1. Good Morals- 3/4
2. Polite- 1/2
3. No problems with TV/Sports/News etc.- 1/4
4. Good Looking- 1/3
5. Intelligent- 1/3

So overall chances are 3/4*1/2*1/4*1/3*1/3=1/96 :(

So I guess the chances of a future of poradhinota looks much more probable now.

apparently my mum found the "perfect" person,I can foresee lot of trouble during my December trip to Dhaka :ohno:

Hehehe...i hope ur "perfect person" does not turn out to be a "news/forum/sports" hater....or else we might start missing u from december:lol:

^^ LOL

Mohammadpur panorama looking towards Sher-e-Bangla Nagar. If you look carefully you can make out Parliament right of center and Agargaon right of center, both in the distant haze. This very nice pano is by Zahid Hasan.

wow what a shot :)

Pano by ferdaus...Banani skyline framed by Mohakhali buildings:

Is it just me or does the building with the bluish reflective windows look like its falling down?

It does :)

But that's likely an artifact of the way the pano was stitched together.

Oh, so the whole picture was shot crooked?

From the visit Korea website;

About 63 City: 63 City first opened its doors in July of 1985, and has established itself as a major tour site in Seoul, located by the banks of the Hangang River, it is one of the most popular places to enjoy a magnificent view of Seoul City.

Guys, let's not post panoramas that are poorly stitched or have artifacts?

Great Dhaka photos here..Bangladesh is a nice country indeed...

Keep 'em coming brother -- poorly stitched or not. You won't see me being picky. :)

Well if you go to 'Cambridge in Colour' -- this guy has been talking about pano for the last decade and talks about doing 'Shelai' very well. I believe he's a pano researcher. Here's the site,
