They were taken in 2004, 2006 & 2008 (not all by me). They're not quite from the same spot, and the quality is pretty poor, but it gives a good idea of how things have changed.

I didn't take the top one. ...I didn't take the top one. The middle one was taken from where the Fish Market restaurant used to be before it was demolished, on the bit sticking out into the bay near the museum of islamic art. And the bottom one was taken from a boat somewhere by the museum.
Your angle is a more classic view of Doha, but both have pros and cons.
nomad_08 said
tallg...i maybe wrong but ...tallg...i maybe wrong but the palm island should be visible when you take the photo from where the fish market was located?

print now available ...by request from a friend of mine back home... i have made the panoramic available by print
http://www.deviantar...
if you order a print i must say thank you to you... and if you get a print i must suggest you have it framed locally because they can cut off the excess on the matte...
or ... if you want one cheaper... send me a pm and i will help you get one printed locally to your size request...

thatguy said
for torque and vignale... ...for torque and vignale... believe it or not... for all my work i use a cannon power shot... point and shoot... i used to use a cannon rebel 35mm and then sold it before i moved out here...
i have been putting off buying a new slr ... but i keep doing so well with my little point and shoot... plus im fruggle... hahahahahah
my biggest frustration is that i dont get to mess with defferent lenses and wide angles... but i still do pretty well with what i got...
hopefully i will get a dslr soon... but until then... i think this do fine
