This was my work for my AS Photography Exam last year. In real life, this photo spans about 6 A3 sheets of paper. I liked printing it big. (:
It's based around the theme of 'urban decay', although the photos were taken in part of an old farm in the middle of the country, but shush. It's a panorama of the interior of the building, overlaid with graffiti from my town (and a whiteboard in my college). I was dumb and I stitched it together manually, but I like that, because you can spot the occasional mistake in my stitching. The photo's got a couple of mindfucks - one being that you can see the outside of the building from a small window in the building. The other one should be obvious ;P
I found it when cleaning out my laptop and thought I'd upload it to the 'net to get criticism on it. It generated quite a lot of interest from people in college... it was laid out on the floor, spanning half the length of the room, for a couple of days. People kept coming to look at it. It felt good, man.
I may revisit the idea... go to a more interesting building, add more props, light the shots with my flashes, do some HDR processing, put it through Noiseware, Lightroom etc.... anyway, I'll shut up about it now, it's just a picture.

It's scaled down for the web quite a bit - 1200px high, 30% the size of the original. It's semitransparent 'til it loads properly, and it scales to fit your browser (except in IE), so be patient.
That was frightening.

I love it.
Did you use a tripod, or take the shots by hand?
:psyboom:
That was pretty cool, mind blown

By hand. I wish I'd done it on a tripod, in retrospect. As you can see, all the images were on different tilts and stuff. But I like the rough edges it creates.
I'm totally gonna steal your idea for my AS course. Thanks.
would you mind making a guide on panoramas? I just tried it at my house... no dice.

Who the fuk r u and wat r u doing
You need to crop the top and bottom to make it look clean. With the edges I can see where you spliced the images, try cutting down to the bare minimum of what you need.

If I wanted it cropped I would've. Like I said, I liked the really rough top & bottom edges. The messy borders just add to the effect of the photo, imho.
looks like it says FUK, in the thumb

Uh... well, make sure you cover an entire room in at least 8 or so shots. My way of doing that panorama just involved very careful stitching of the images together in Photoshop afterwards. A lot of consumer cameras have 'panorama modes' and stuff built in lately, and software does it better than I did manually I'm guessing, so doing panoramas shouldn't be too hard. Just make sure you keep your camera level (preferably on a tripod), and having overlapping shots is better than having gaps between shots.

That's because it does.

you could just use the PS photomerge function. Or get a dedicated stitching program like PTGui (which are better because they have many fine tuning functions and a large degree of control of the output, unlike photoshop)
it looks so washed out
