#photography nerdity:For much of my architectural work especially, I often create high resolution "stitched" composites made of multiple captures of different parts of the subject.Modern image software (like Capture One and Photoshop) make this fairly easy and seamless, but the technique and equipment you use to create the individual captures can have a significant impact on the quality of the result. The main idea is require the software do as little geometric work as possible.1/

@mattblaze Here's what happens when the subject moves between capturesI own this particular piece of art; it's one of my absolute favoritesclaudesamton.com/photomosaics/

![a "photograph" of Central Park, taken from what looks to be a highrise on east 57th street facing northwest into the park

it is actually hundreds of photographs taken from the same vantage point over multiple hours on multiple days. you can see the changes in the clouds, in the light, in the trees, in the shadows on the Plaza Hotel, in the number of cars on 5th avenue and 59th st

the artist is Claude Sampton and I'm not sure what year it was done, but I've owned it for more than 25 years. i bought it after seeing it in a window on Broadway and visiting his studio in Soho](https://media.mas.to/media_attachments/files/115/527/230/388/715/001/original/00587a0ea97b9485.jpg)
