I’ve been trying to figure out how to do a multiple-photograph photomerge of subjects that have lines and angles in them. That is, I’ve merged natural scenes before, fairly successfully (see the Owens Valley photo, and Autumn Leaves photo) but wouldn’t it be cool to be able to merge some shots of a building façade? That way, you could make a really big print of window reflections (for example) in the photorealist style.
Here’s an attempt at such a subject (in this case, a vacant building in back of the San Rafael Trader Joe’s.) On top is the merge (of six separate shots) as produced by Photoshop. Below is what remained after desperate perspective-control measures were undertaken. As we can see, a lot of subject matter had to be cropped out.
I guess it would help if I had a wonderful perspective-control lens. Yeah, right. Or, what about a separate software program dedicated solely to merges?
We will have to think on this.
