Found Buzby, right next to the dude from the One Show as well

It's amazing the amount of detail you can see even when zooming into something several miles away.

G-MAN2004 · 21 Feb 2013 at 16:16

Awesome, but damn what an ugly skyline.

they could have picked a sunny day lol

Would have been much better on a sunny day. Definitely one to do again. 400mm lens with the 2x converter and the 1.6x crop on the camera is an effective 1280mm zoom! Stunning picture(s).

People still watch The One Show :eek:

I went for an Expo at the base of the BT tower a few weeks back, fantastic views, although I'm not a fan of movement that far up..

I did chuckle when I saw a school playground ontop of the school itself, great use of space within a crowded area

Ha, right by the Qube where I used to work for a short while....

You know what? After a 5 minute play i agree. BT tower is way too West and the level of zoom detail is pretty meh compared to others.

Not as awesome as i first hoped.

It's really not that bad, but if it was from the Shard then that would have been better.

If it's a portrait of London during the games where are the rings on Tower Bridge?

There is naked women, but I don't think I'm allowed to post them, even though it is only her 'arris pressed against a window.

Does that mean you won?

Edit: Never mind, I just found the same one! Wonder where the other two are...

That's quite good, you're always being watched

These two are easy to find. I can't find the third one.

When found, you can enter a draw to win the prize.

It looks grim

I went up the BT tower yesterday as part of BT induction. The view from the top is amazing and when it spins it is weird. Was a great experience, i thought it was such a coincidence that the day i go up there, i get home and find a link to the panorama on reddit o.O

When I was looking over london it realy made me think that there is a lot of ugly buildings that could be knocked down completely, this attachment with old buildings is a bit over the top in my opinion. Obviously not saying they should knock down the houses of parliament or st pauls, but just get over it and clear some of these terrible buildings.

Don't like the HDR effect - which weirdly seems to disappear when you zoom in loads. Tonnes of stitching errors and artefacts.

I'd give it 2 stars for sheer resolution and effort.

Some details of how it was done.
