<strong>Extreme conditions</strong>: "There was a team of two of us, taking shifts through the day/night," says Henry Stuart of Visualise, in a statement. "It was incredibly cold and windy, each hour we made the trip to the corner of the roof, checked the light, adjusted our settings and set off the camera remotely."

<strong>Incredible range: </strong>The team used the Nikon D850 for the project: "It has this beautiful big sensor and captures a huge range of light and dark," explains Stuart.

<strong>Unique experience</strong>: The finished panoramas are so large, that Stuart says only specially built computers can process them.

<strong>Power of the panorama: </strong>The hard work paid off. The result is an incredible look at how the city's skyline changes over a 24-hour period.
