John Walker Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I'd like to say I took this on my Sony RX100 M6 - but I didn't. Look at the quality - Zoom in as far as you like - It's still in focus. http://sh-meet.bigpixel.cn/?from=groupmessage&isappinstalled=0&fbclid=IwAR3mTpp81b9VXabLiocp8Xl83hU9jhXVp-TeZ8xFwCsnaXjcV250zXjoQw4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlbertSnapper Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Wow ! .... incredible stuff. If you zoom in on to that apartment block 8 kilometres away you can see some hanky panky ! Check out the links via their Facebook page (from the 'more' tab) to see other places in China.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Very odd that they got rid of the Oriental Pearl by sticking that big logo on it. It's still the iconic building, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecadet Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Yes, I'd assumed it was a drone job but by the looks of the other towers it was taken from the Space Module at 350m. Also, the Pearl is the only building with two sets of shadows going in different directions. So they must have had to do a patch-up job. Pergaps the stitching software couldn't cope with the top of the sightseeing dome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
