Oly E-P2 + stichin = bitchin

What's the benefit of this approach to, say, stepping back a bit?

It seems in the first one, by being a bit closer, you can actually get more shallow DOF, but not sure that applies to the other two.

Now, it could just be that it's a technical challenge and quite fun. I can understand that, but I was just wondering if you get anything more out of IQ by doing this (would it also produce a really hi-res image???)

 

I think it looks kinda cool...

 

Yeah, me too... I like seeing things for the 1st time...

 

is that done on board the camera or on some third party software? I know you can't stitch on E-pl1, i haven't had any success using the panorama mode on it yet..
i like the first two in particular  

 

It seems to me that the major benefit is that you can achieve a higher level of detail in the images because you've stitched together multiple images? In any case, I've always cropped photos that I stitch together using PTGui Pro... It's never occurred to me until now that these look pretty darn good uncropped. Great job Shawn!

 

cool

 

This is interesting.. I always think of doing panoramas to get a wide photo

 

Thanks! I never meant to be dismissive of the pics. I love them, and understand the meditative side. I was just wondering if it was also a way to get shallow dof, because maybe you could be closer to the subject, and therefore focus close, less dof, etc.

They would look cool printed out really large (high res after all) on the wall.

Thanks fornsharing!
