I had just sold my 17-40 mm lens and was cursing myself for that because a 50 mm prime is quite inadequate for clicking architecture. And there is a great deal of that to be shot in London. After being mopey for a day or two (I don’t know how my wife put up with me) it occurred to me that I could always shoot slices of buildings with my 50 mm, and then stitch them up in Photoshop – just like a panorama. While most results were quite bad (missing slices, great variation in light across different slices and such), this one came out alright. I especially liked the amount of detail that the camera could capture around the clock area.
The picture here was a result of stitching together five, 8-megapixel images. You can click the picture to reveal the complete composition (composite?). I chose to post a “color-negative” version. Let me know if you’d like to see the real thing.
Update: The original non-negative version.
p.s. If the layout looks messed-up, you are probably on IE 6. You deserve a better browser!
