Chicago Skyline

Chicago Skyline

This a pano I did a few years ago of the Chicago Skyline from a jetty at the beach where all the Volleyball games are held. The original was printed to be 8 feet long. Shot with a Phase One IQ 180 you can see details like people standing in windows.  I did this by determining the proper exposure by doing some trial shots.  Then I placed the camera on the tripod for vertical photos.  I then shot 10 images.  The camera movement was from left to right and had about 30% overlap per frame.  When I got back home I loaded these into Capture One and processed and adjusted the images and then made sure each had the same settings.  Then I opened them in Photoshop.  I had Capture One output full-size tiffs.  These were then stitched in Photoshop using Photomerge.  I printed the print using 24-inch roll paper so the height is 24 inches and the length was almost 8 feet.
