Have you?
The Performance!
Well. I shot it at The Bombay Circus, in New Delhi, India. I took about 40 shots, and then merged them using Layers. The lighting was good, so that I did not have to use flash. (Even otherwise, the distance was about 30 feet, so I could not have used it anyway).
Since the girl was lit by a spotlight, I could use a reasonable shutter speed of about 1/300 second at ISO 400.

Wow, I'm always amazed at how they are able to do those things with only a rope. You did a very good job merging those shots, and of shooting and keeping sharp a difficult subject.

It is unique and well done. You could almost make an animated .gif file.
You can make animated .gif files from video frames. This seems to be more of a repeated-shot, than the more typical ultra-wide angle panaramas of scenery.
It could be used as a Top-Border photo on a wall, with other prints of the circus below it.
Can such a wide photo be printed? Our print shop department does have Epson/HP, continuous feed plotter/printers that print on rolls of paper, but that is not photo-paper. |

| It is a nice composition, though it is not exactly difficult to stitch together with the all black background... |

You should have used 1/200 cause it would have been fast enough and you could have used the extra light, I mean, the girl is noisy!
If I were you I would have shot at 1/200 and ISO 800 or more. Expose the girl properly at higher ISO gives you less noise then underexpose at lower ISO. I can see alot of noise in the dark spots which means you underexposed and boosted the brightness afterwards. Anyways, that's just my newbie opinion, take it or leave it! |

Thanks everybody for the response.
In fact, the noise was a main problem for me. I used full 10x zoom of the camera (i.e. a Focal length of about 350mm), and even a slight shake would have ruined the picture. I used ISO 400 (This is anyway the maximum available on my Canon s1 IS), so that I could utilise the faster shutter speed. I underexposed slightly to avoid any blown highlights.
I have tried to remove noise using Neatimage, but not found very useful in this case, perhaps because of the intricate shot. Can someone help? |
