This is a 99-image, tilt-shift, HDR, infrared panorama, created in 2008 before Photoshop was HDR- or panorama-capable.
The images were captured on a Canon 5D body converted to infrared by LifePixel. A Canon 24mm TS-E lens was shifted full up, midway and then full down, each with three bracketed exposures to provide more vertical height. The camera was then rotated 15º and another set of nine images was taken. The rotating continued eleven times, until all 99 images (3 exposures x 3 shifts x 11 rotations) were made.
The photos were brought into Photomatix to create an HDR file from each of the 3 bracketed files. AutoPano Pro stitching software was used to make 11 vertical panoramas from the three shifted views of each rotation. And finally, these eleven panoramas were stitched together in AutoPano Pro.
NIK Color Efex was used to add tonal contrast and the black and white conversion.
The resulting image is a 270º view with no edge distortion. An 8 ft. canvas print was made from the file and still hangs in my home.
