… all just bricks in the wall

Or should I say just another frame of the wall pano. Not the usual panorama image. My subject here was at least 3 time as long as my shooting distance from it. Don’t take no rocket scientist to figure out the distortion nightmare by pivoting a camera from one location no matter what focal length or number of frames. I paced off the length of the building, then frame out a vertical image noting the lateral distance I needed to keep. Found the center point marker it, to it right and left I marked half again and again till I came to a start and end point of the building. Lucky for me the ground was as level as I could want. With my camera mounted vertically on a monopod. I went from mark to mark for 9 or 10 frames. Then back again, using the LCD grid guidelines to keep both level and square as possible for quick frames without getting too anal. I made a few passes while the light was good mainly for quality assurance.

The pano stitched together with room to spare. Final image a 48.5 x 18 print print size. Several inches wider than I personally can print.

This is the kind of image I imagine would look great printed really big as a minimalist piece of art

David, Thank you for you reflective thoughts and comments. And yes I agree on the big print idea I printed one and wasn’t happy with the color way to yellow that didn’t look bad in my test samples but all of 40 plus by 13 inches it was awful.
I've always thought the image would make a mean 2500 piece jigsaw puzzle
