It's A Stitch-Up


Stitch time! I love this function on my camera. It allows me to take a series of pictures and put them together on the computer. It's not always smooth and the amount of light can greatly impact the visibility of the lines between the individual photographs. However, sometimes definition enhances the mood of the picture, especially to highlight distances.
This stitch was taken while cruising off Santa Barbara, California. The seven photos start at the front of the boat and pan across the entire view to the back of the boat.


The lines are less obvious in this stitched picture of a match between the LA Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks at Dodgers Stadium. There are still lines because of the disparity of light. But they are smooth and give a feel of a tapestry. A stadium is a great place to pan, as it gives a dramatic impression of the photographer's view.


This stitch was taken on New Year's Eve 2010 at Watson's Bay, Sydney, some hours before the fireworks. It had been a balmy day, the harbour looked inviting and people enjoying drinks and the brilliant view looked forward to the show.
