Had to get creative with the cross frame as people were always in the shot. It works with the subject matter and lets the imagination fill in the gaps making it seem even bigger.
Besides a bit of colour and cloning, i added a strong volume of light coming from the stained glass for fun.

A Cathedral in Montreal. Massive church, stitched two shots vertically just to capture it all.

Even the most expensive digtal camera’s won’t fully capture the colour and detail of what you first saw.
Below shows how photoshop and camera raw can bring back the feeling in a shot. This was taken at the distillery district downtown Toronto. I also removed some unwanted rooftop covering a window, it was distracting.

It had been awhile since i submitted anything and i had some free time.
This topic was about making those elusive bigfoot evidence photo’s you always see, but this time its real!
Any fictitious monster you like, but it must have been been claimed to be real at some point in history.
I choose dragons. I took an everyday sky shot i found from my own personal collection and started by enhancing the clouds. I dropped in a black silhouette of a flying dragon and toyed with layer styles, visibility and blur until i got a desired look. I masked out the part where the sky was showing. Then using the same mask, filled in those areas with dragon skin i borrowed from lizards/ alligators and bats.
The result was a dragon that was trying to stay out of sight in the clouds, but when the sun hit down, it exposed his terrifying shadow in the clouds.

Here is a larger Panorama taken at Niagra falls from a castle like structure above the line up to “maid of the mist”. It includes both Canadian falls, American Falls as well as some foreground and side structure.
What i find most amazing about these shots is how much more it feels like being there. Our eyes interpret so much more than just the square box in front of them, enter the age of widescreen LCD’s.
This time around i decided to include the original pictures i took before merging and editing. Besides some colour tweaking, i took out a few people who i felt were blocking the view. This one is roughly 62 inches wide at full size length. It’s so large in fact if you zoom in, you can make out people climbing the American waterfall from both sides.
