Like I said in my last post, there is nothing esoteric about single exposures or the ability to compose and see what your photograph is going to look like before you take it. There is nothing esoteric about a subject in or out of focus. I have a lot of experience with LF cameras and know what they can do. This "pan and stitch" technique might work for some things but it certainly does not have the versatility of a LF camera. It's better than nothing if all you have is a single low res camera but to those of you who are excited about higher resolution photography I suggest you investigate "normal" LF photography before you decide that "pan and stitch" is anywhere near as good as normal LF.

Too many of you are witing about actual experience, rather than esoteric theory. It appears that Mr. O'Connell is right, and the rest of you guys are full of crap. I know that because he tells us so, over and over. To save the waste of bandwidth, I suggest that everyone else shut up and left Mr. O'Connell do all the talking (which wouldn't be much of a change in any event). Then we can all read and learn from the master, and once a week or so tell him how wonderful he is and how gratefull we all are to be his pupils. ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the KillerWebMail system at stanleypmlaw.com
