It took 8 photos to stitch this Porto Panorama.

Starting at left we are on the bank by the Rio Duoro in Vila Nova de Gaia.
Then we cross the river: Rio Duoro.
On the other side we have the whole of Cais de Ribeira with its narrow streets and houses in the hillside.
Finally we cross the river again and can view the grand bridge Ponte de Dom Luis I before we again is back at the banks of Vila Nova de Gaia.

Here, at the delta of the Douro River, the second heart of Port wine beats. The wines, that are produced in several "quintas" up the river on step hills, are here bottled and shipped to all over the world. Vila Nova de Gaia, the city opposite of Porto on the left bank of the River, is the home to all the famous Port wine companies like Taylors, Dows, Offleys, Calem etc.
Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia are directly connected through the Ponte de Dom Luis I, a steelwork construction build in the 19th century. This bridge, dominating the skyline of the two cities, is a double bridge that connects on the one hand the upper towns of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia and on the other hand the river banks.

Hi, very well done! A great and interesting panorama! I don't know Porto and this gives me a good view! THanks,

Léonie

Hej Jack,
At night it was already superb, but I do like the daylight version too, a wonderful panoramic view showing plenty of details (including the iconic boats) under a nice light and with vivid colors. Stitching is outstanding.
A great photo !
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Hi Jack,
I went to Portugal, but not in Porto ... with your panorama, i think i will go there !
Great work, 8 photos (when will you shoot a 360° pano ?)
Nice colors, good DOF.
thanks for sharing
regards, Hugues

this is one of the most terrific pano shots i have seen. really well done.

I agree with the others: this was very well done! This is a very pleasing photo to study in depth. You captured a great deal of detail that is stitched together very well.

Fantastic job, very well done seemless stitching. very sharp, superb colours

An amazing panorama Jack! The light, colors and details are superb. I like a lot the inclusion of people in the left adding a human touch to the scene.

8 photos ?? !!! wow !!fantastic panorama Jack, really excellent work. I often tried myself panoramic photo, but maximum only 4 or five could be stiched, otherwise it would be too wide and could not be supported again for upload for the small version. could you tell us more about the technique, were you using tripod ?

Hi Jack! Excelent panorama of Porto! Well done! Thanks,
Susana

Good moment to take 10k, very professional taken panorama Jack, my congrat.
Regards, piotr

Ah, I was waiting for this one, Jack. There are so many photos of this Porto harbour but there isn't even one that shows the whole bay and helps us to put everything in its place. And this shot does it perfectly. It is a perfet, well lit, well captured and very well stitched work. Great!

Wow - this has to be the panorama to end all other panoramas of this place, Jack. An amazing feeling of "being there" conveyed by the large version, the stitching work is very well carried out, and of course the place as such is just magnificent and a hard one to take a bad photo at. The sunlight was also on your side, it really enhances the colorful scenery to the best.

Very good stitching work here, Jack! This panorama is very well framed too with the bridge on the right, the boats and the Rio Duoro. Colors are great too. Well done!

Hi Jack

A splendid panorama, with superb color & sharpness. I like the sweeping curve & slight distortion. Excellent shot!

This is almos a 180° panorama, isnt'it ? The colors and lights are somptuous and the contrast is optimum. Very nice boats in the foreground and interesting architecture of the bridge. Great work you've done here !

Very good panorama.I like the composition and point of view.Good colors,light and sharpness.Good contrasts and details.Good job!

Hi Jack what an exciting and very well executed pano this is! It's a very fine and well defined combination of architecture, technology and not to forget the people and in this way a enticing invitation to Porto. Xcellent job!

Hi Jack

Du må undskylde jeg har overset dette billede - (samt en masse andre) - Du giver et fantastisk view over dette sted som mange andre fotografer på TE har gjort berømt - min kompliment med dette panorama

Jeppe

C'est un petit chef-d'oeuvre ce pano et je ne l'avais pas encore vu. Tout est au top : la netteté, les couleurs, la lumière et la composition. Félicitations !
Jacques
