The Wall / Long Panorama

Subject 40-60 foot long, two stories high wall.

Location, limited unobstructed view 30-40 feet.

Challenge (box) avoid any wide angle distortion single or multiple frames

“Outside the box” solution I found the appropriate focal length for several multi frame compositions that would minimize distortion for both horizontal and vertical frames. To avoid or minimize any distortion(s) in post processing. Rather than choosing a single pivot point framing. I laid down an appropriate baseline from the wall and paced off the number of frame spaces per composition.

Implementing my monopod set to a fixed height, camera mounted vertical/portrait position, I placed the monopod on each of several predetermine points I’d marked on the ground, quickly framing and exposing each frame before quickly moving on to the next, again, and again.

This stitched together like a charm in post processing.
