A roof over their heads


kai_compagner

Overcast day today, I thought I'd try something else. Technically this is my most challenging stitch yet! Stitched 6 vertical pictures. I had more frames with other people, but they obscured parts of the interesting structure. I did not use a tripod, but balanced the camera on its side on the flat top of a waste bin. Attracts a lot less attention this way. Also the paralax errors are actually smaller than taking verticals with a tripod, because I can rotate it in place.

This is a really good shot, very original (- I never even thought of doing a panorama here). If the sky was blue it would be a 7/7. Great original thinking though.

I really enjoy this image. Very nice stitching work. It would be nice to see the right side of this image cropped slightly; eliminating the white car and object (waste bin?) in the lower corner. Thank you very much for sharing!

Difficult. I would have got inside the circle of columns somehow. You've missed out on nice piece of detail in the canopy which may have made for a much stonger picture here.

I agree with Rogan. I get the clear impression that your point of view was dictated by the need to use the waste bin and that therefore you could not move about as you would have preferred had you brought a tripod. The interest for me in this area are the elegant lamp posts and glazed canopy. But these things seem on the periphery and/or randomly arranged in the picture. Instead I feel encouraged to look at a green waste bin directly in front of me. I also think an overcast day was the right day. Imagining this with long thin shadows from the lamps and canopy stands, not to mention other high contrasts and exposure dynamics tells me so.

Thanks Kurt, I must say that Phil's comment has changed my view on this somewhat. As much as I like this somewhere on this square there is a better angle for this kind of picture. Trouble is finding out where, considering you don't see your assembled picture until you're back home. But I intend to try this one again at some point.
