Photo: 180º view from 505 Main St on 5/05
« on: May 06, 2011, 03:30:09 PM »
I got to do a very quick and unplanned 180º, 7-image photo stitch from the 4th-floor southwest balcony of the cool-looking building at 505 Main St yesterday - thanks to Michael O'Dea , VP of Property Management Operations for Hekemian & Co, Inc.

It's a great perspective that I had never seen before (the Empire State Building between Sears and Holman's?). Personally, I liked the fact that in a pretty small area of the picture (third picture below), I could see the church I was baptized in (1), the grammar school I attended (2), and the place where I live (3).

The timing was visually advantageous because the Holy Trinity Church carnival was set up in the church parking lot.

There are a couple of sky issues on the end frames. I could eliminate those frames, but I wanted to get as much ground info as possible into the merged photo. Overall, the stitch went pretty well.

Below are:
