The above two images of the Minneapolis skyline were taken at sunset to take advantage of the brilliant reflections created by the setting sun off of some of the buildings. Each offers a slightly different composition with different lighting contrasts.
The first image conveys sunset tones (blue/purple) in contrast to the building reflections. The second adds a deep green tone in the foreground.

The Bund usually refers to the buildings and wharves of this section of the road, as well as some adjacent areas. The Bund is one of the most famous tourist destinations in Shanghai.
Taken with the Canon G9 camera
3 images of the scene taken at sunset.
ISO 400 • f8 • 1/60 • hand held • RAW format
Processed files using CS3 camera raw to jpegs, then merged the 3 images into a panorama with CS3.
Took the single file and made two additional images to have a +2 and -2 to give me 3 files (+2 / 0 / -2 ) to make a Photomatix HDR tonemapped file.
Open the tonemapped file with additional work done in CS3.
Original images merge into the panorama shown below
