I've got a fever, and the only prescription is More Panoramics.






I wanted to see what would happen if I shot a panoramic with the same subject moving throughout the individual pictures. I was hoping that it would all blend together, but when I ran the automated stitching facility in Photoshop it practically erased all of the cars except a couple as you can see. So I gave manual stitching another go, I used the Skew and distort tools on each individual layer to help line up the images, then I decided to mask off parts of each individual layer so that the car could flow in and out of each image softly without much distortion. I think I pulled off the effect rather well. I then desaturated the image and added some noise to imitate a traditional black and white image.
