Panorama

Being an independent contractor sometimes takes me to interesting places. On the 14th of this month I shot and stitched this spherical pano (the real image is huge - over 8000 x 4000 pixels) for a client specializing in architectural visualization. The platform that I shot from was a couple of wooden planks on top of a 30 foot scaffolding in the middle of a construction site. The width of the platform was exactly that of my open tripod legs - it was quite a dance to maneuver around my camera rig without disturbing my tripod (it's very important when shooting a spherical panorama not to move the nodal point of the camera). I'll admit that it was a bit scary, but the results came out great.
