Pittsburgh's "Three Rivers Arts Festival" is going on now, and I stopped by for a bit yesterday afternoon, mainly to check out photography exhibits. I met a guy named Gene Dwiggins who had a really neat collection of "tiled panoramas" he has done.

He takes probably 50-ish shots of a scene, and then assembles them back together, much like a puzzle, to become a single image. He does it in such a way that it is intentionally looking like a bunch of photos put together as one.

Looking at some of his work, I could see that he exposed some of the shots a little differently, and had differing depth of field in some shots to add variety in the overall pieces.

I thought y'all might find it interesting to see his work. I'm not sure I'd be patient enough to attempt one of these, but I may give it a try at some point:

Very cool!!! Wouldn't it be neat to do one and trim it into a particular shape? I'd like to try one in the shape of Texas, if I could ever get around to it. Great link! :o)

I should mention that he does trim the matting in a jagged way around the image, too. The prints were really cool with a real 3D feel about them! The web site doesn't really do justice to the big prints I got to see!

I was thinking along similar lines about doing this in such a way that the overall shape meant something -- like the Texas idea. That would be pretty slick! I don't believe I saw any of his work that followed that idea.
