Re: Flickr group site: Photography of Airport

Handstiching by eye, did you say.  Waoooo!   this has to be the most complex way of creating these large images, since you are constantly working with very large files and a large number of (presumably tied) layers.   Very impressing!  Myself, I only do hand-stitching by eye on small portions of my images, and this generally with great difficulty. 

For those with any interest in my images, follow this link:

I'd be most happy to receive any comments, considering that these pictures are not intended to be fully resolved images and that they should be viewed as such.

Sounds really interesting Guy,
Could you post links to the shots on Facebook. I do all my post production in Photoshop, and the stitching and layering is all done by eye,  not any stitching software,  takes a lot of time but you get interesting results.

Andrew

Thanks Andrew. 
I like the idea of using a large pool of images to build up a scene that has never existed.  Myself, I work with about 50 images but instead of organizing the scene with a clean definition of content, I let the software create fragments of ghosts that disappear into nothingness.  Do you have a preferred software to work with?  I personally work with AutoPano Pro.  I'll post one of my ghost image next week but I think I have some on my Facebook site.

Hi Guy,
Glad you like the flickr shot http://www.flickr.com/photos/92788661@N00/4205393959/ I took it at Hong Kong Airport,  quite early in the morning,  I guess I was shooting for about 40 mins but I got left alone to do it with no hassel from security.  There did not seem to be any problems(I think I travel in a way where I look like a scruffy backpacker,  not a professional photographer,  so perhaps that helps me not to get stopped to many times),  although at other airports in the past there has been issues,  I guess I was lucky this time.

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

I really like your Flickr picture.  But I am intrigued that you were allowed to make 165 shots of an airport in these days of security paranoïa.  Did you make pre-arrangements with the airport security.  How did you present your project?  Or did you just shoot from the hip?.
