This is amazing, Armando!  Did you use a tripod?  actually, I don't think you are allowed to do that in this room with the carpet.  But you would have to rotate the camera precisely around the entrance pupil to stitch the frames in this situation, unlike the landscapes of distant scenes.

Thanks Akira, I shot handheld, overlapping about 50% of the frame
and you are right a tripod will not be allowed
the floor is tiles, but it is showing it's age

I used PS photomerge to create the pano , I have not noticed stitching errors, one thing I hate is the deformed resulting image, requiring the use of the adaptative wide angle filter to fix the deformed lines

Thank you, Armando, for the details.  I'm fondly using Photomerge and know that it has been improved.  But I haven't imagined it is that good!

Very nice work, lighting and sharpness look great.  It seems to have rendered in a cylindrical projection.  Was there no option of a 'straight line' projection in the stitching software?

Thanks for the comments

I'll have to check the options in photomerge, I usually click on Auto, I do not know if it is easy to modify the projection as it is in other stitching software, the lines were awfully curved, the adaptative wide angle filter helped, but there continues to be some deformation

Great work, Armando.


The remains of a former Febo restaurant, after a fire a year ago. One day they will rebuilt it.

With a 20mm lens (the f/4.0 Ai) there is always some distortion with stitching) - a stitch of 8.  (Shot through a small (and bit movable) opening in a wooden fence.)

Looks like an image shot with a stereographic fisheye.  Nice!

Just found "Geometric Distortion Correction" check box at the bottom of the window of Photomerge.  I will try it when needed.

For the horizontal landscape stitches, I usually use "Cylindrical", which often works better than "Auto".

A different perspective of a familiar scene...  Seven vertical frames.  (Cylindrical stitch in Photomerge).

Thanks Akira.   When using auto, you sometimes are more 'lucky'  than other settings, is my experience, especially with the wider lenses.

Composition feels balanced, pleasant color choice in the petrol station lighting, which can so often render as ghastly.  A nice 'island of light' feeling.

Thank you, Keith, for kind words.  For the pano, I assign an "all auto off" setting to one of the user settings on my D750.  The WB is set to "Daylight" with the hope that it would render colors as if I'm shooting with a daylight film.  It seems to have worked nicely here.  Personally I don't dislike the green hue caused by the mercury vapor light, though.

What Keith said.  It's a lovely combination of colours enhanced with the sunset.
