    Stitching 4x5

    This is 2 sheets of 4x5, with the second being done by tilting the camera up. The images were then assembled with PTGui.



    Sultan - I corrected this after your post. Should have had my coffee before posting.

    I don't know the software PhotoMatrix. From where does that come and what does it do? I have PhotoMatix, but that's for creating HDR images.
    Are we truly creative, or simply too lethargic to become pedestrian?

    I have to agree pretty nice , must be a monster file, it does create a nice format 4x10 ..
    I am new to using a larger format camera, I pretty much keep it very simple, but did you have to do any post work to make all the lines and angles look natural or did you have to do complicated movements to compensate ??

    I expect that PTGui took care of the geometry.

    Very nice. I also use PTgui for my pano. While it correct the geometry, you still need a good base for it to work on.

    I forgot to mention that this is St. Louis Cathedral, at Jackson Square, New Orleans.

    The better the control of the base shots, the better the outcome. If you can do it with pure shift, then there is no funny angle stuff to do. Had I been using the Sinar, I might not have had to tilt, but the Ebony does not have nearly enough movements. Tilting also limits the lightfall off issues, unless you have a center filter.

    It is an 8K by 14.7K file. With losses from correction and overlap, it is like about 4x8.

    Re: Stitching 4x5

    I have been experimenting with this technique for the last 8 months. I think it offers a lot of possibility especially when you are lucky enough to have camera movements.

    Sometimes I have been shooting two frames in the vertical positions and shifting laterally just so I can have the option of more/less foreground when printing...

    The first one was done w/ panning and the second (more recent) with shift and five negatives

    John Sanderson..
    I am confused, five negatives with shift, what kind of camera were you using?? I am referring to the second image of the building behind the rails.
