At the risk of sounding like a moron (as I usually do) I'll respond. I've only recently experimented with this myself. But my initial thought is, "Do you want a mosaic or a pano?" Actually, it really sounds like you might want a linear pano rather than a mosaic. Or possibly a series of partial panos joined into a linear pano?
I have to admit, I'm not sure of the correct use and meaning of terms (or even if there is a hard and set definition for them.) But when someone says "pano" I think multiple images of a 3D subject taken from one viewpoint to facilitate smooth joining of the images to create a single immersive image of some kind (often creating a equirectangular or closely related finished image. When someone says "mosaic" I think of multiple pictures taken of a single 2D planar subject which can be taken from many viewpoints to facilitate stitching them into a single usually rectilinear image. When you want to take a picture of many subjects along a street it's a bit of a 'tweener in that there are multiple 3D subjects distributed along a linear path. I would call this a linear panorama. I don't know if that's a good or descriptive name, but it seems to straddle the other two with an aim that is more informally documentary and in some ways less perfectionistic in technique. Another approach (which you also touch on) is a linear series of conventional panoramas (like Google StreetView.) But you imply that you want to make partial panoramas and stitch them together into one large, long image like a linear panorama. So maybe you haven't decided for sure what your final product should be? What is your aim? On Nov 15, 7:56 pm, Syv Ritch <elfrog...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I need to photograph a whole street.
