Downtown Toronto,
Full of wonderful architecture.

Most pictures here are “stitched” (i.e. multiple pictures made to look like one).

Magnolia_Building_Stitch5

Title: Magnolia Building
Process: Five pictures stitched vertically

More: I shot the photo during a break between classes at IADT (summer 2005). It was exceptionally windy that day. Merging the 5 pictures seamlessly together required a lot of Photoshop work.

Metro Hall Stich21

Title: Metro Hall Center
Process: Twenty-one pictures stitched (7x3)

More: I had high goals in making this picture that I feel I have somewhat achieved. The simplest goal was to take a huge picture of this area. 21 x 2MP = big. The next goal was really ambitious, and that was to merge all these pictures together, not only seamlessly, but with no or little curve. The scope of this picture is just about 180 degrees. The only lenses to get close to that viewing angle are know as “fisheyes”, which tend to radically bend straight lines. All this put together – I was hopping that this picture more adequately represented the way I viewed the place, then how a camera did.

Title: Old City Hall - Gargoyle Lookout
Process: Three pictures stitched horizontally.

More: a cinematographer asked me how I got that angle. The answer is telephoto and move back… both of which I did as much as I could.

Title: Old City Hall - Still Tall
Process: Seven pictures stitched vertically

More: This picture is about a third of the distance closer then the above close-up. Emphasis in rendering was maintaining the straight lines.
