I like the idea of large panoramic photographs, though they seem a bit impractical. This photo is roughly 80 megapixels and 500MB, on paper it would measure to 78 inches long at 18 inches high. I captured 240 exposures, of which I used 168, then compiled and tonemapped those down to 24 (7-stop brackets) to create this 180 degree view. That may seem like overkill but I used art school math and Kentucky windage to hedge my bets. Processing all those photos and stitching them all together was quite the experience as well. If you experienced the lights dimming or sudden black-outs in your neighborhood, it's probably my fault. Anyway, I think it turned out very pretty and strange. This wooziness I'm feeling is most likely the result of number cruntching with an artist's brain. Time to get some fresh air, perhaps I'll go for a walk. Maybe you'd like to do the same?
