Panorama!

I went shooting on campus with Andrew Vizmuller looking for a good panoramic scene. It was very windy that day so we stuck to architectural shots. I took 5 photos in a row from left to right, panning the camera on my tripod.

In order to blend them together I loaded the photos into PS and then made a new document wide enough to fit the length of the 5 photos in their original size. I put each photo in on their own layer, overlapping and lowering opacity so I could figure out where exactly they should be placed. I had to transform/adjust/warp/tweak most of the photos to make them fit well with each other. That was definitely a challenge. I used a soft brush to blend in the edges together, then linked everything and adjusted the levels to create consistency in brightness and colours.
This is the first panorama I've ever done so it took longer than expected, but I am quite happy with the final result :)
