Awesome shot with great symmetry. Almost a perfect stitch...except for the cloned lady at the bottom! :)

It's that extra effort that separates the pros. I would never bother stitching photos unless it was to get a specific effect.

This technique seems to have the interesting effect of making the people look like cardboard cut-outs! Also, the gentleman just to the left of the banner has duplicated himself. Great photo.

yap!..it s realy great art sam!..realy great!I mean both!..yours ..and theirs!..

Don't worry... already voted

The Grille (dome?) at top is confusing. Is it an enclosure covering the old buildings too? I am previously unaware of this structure and it surely is an odd one.

Personally, the greatest art would be to decently house all the people of the world. These pompous structures annoy me.

interesting building Sam. Love the tones which is lifted by the orang/yellow banner. nice!

Great website. After a longtime I really enjoyed some great photos collection!

Wow. Very nice stitching work. PTGui? I can't see any borders (at least at this resolution).

A truly magnificent space. I hope to go there one day myself.

Congrats! I think I'll have to try this stitching thing. You did very good on this.

Which program do you use to stitch the images together?

very nice. this is my third day to your site. if you weren't already married, i'd have to introduce myself! keep on photographing -- it is life....

Hey

I am wondering how do you get it so when you stitch, everythign is in proportion.

the four photographs, were they taken from one spot and panning from left to right?

its so flawless.

truely impressive

look unique with this angle.

You are quite the "stitcher". (smile) Thank you for the aforethought and care you put into sharing breathtaking photos. This one places is THERE.

Great image - this is a widely photographed view but thanks to the stitching I think you've created a new take on the scene.

great shot,

Re Mr Petrie's question about the roof: yes, it is a glass covering to create internal space which was once outdoors. It is beautiful, as Sam has demonstrated, but I have wondered after visits if this space is used well enough to justify the cost.
I can agree with the comment about housing all the world's people, but where can one draw the line that something is merely beautiful and has not got sufficient utility? Surely there is enough which is ugly in the world which contributes to soaking up the wealth which we wish could be spent on homes, or water, or healthcare...

Hugh Petrie, try doing a little research before you post. The roof structure was built to define a public space to help make the museum more accessible to people and stands as an work of art in itself. No piece of glass in it is like any other! The British Museum itself exists to educate people of today and preserve the works of people gone by so that we all may know them. The British Museum is not pompous - it serves a clear and direct purpose. If anything, your comment is pompous and ignorant!

Good shot Sam.

If my memory is to be trusted, you have shot this location previously? Or maybe i saw it on somebody else's blog. Anyway, good luck for the award!

OMG!
Marvelous shot! Very good composition! Really, i like the colors and the envorienment!

Does anyone know the software and platform used for this effect? I had stitching software on my ancident Canon Powershot 2 megapixel camera, but it was Windows-only and I later switched to a Mac.

Great shot of a great structure!

It is useful as well as beautiful, Karen. Why don't you begrudge the money spent on ugly strip malls or big box stores and parking lots? Don't hate it because it's beautiful.

I honestly like the mix of architecture in this image, it is actually quite intriguing, a mix between old and new~

And also with the fact that it was stitched together, it looks amazing, it's impossible to tell at all, with my eyes anyways. :)
It's an impressive shot. Keep doing what you do. :)

Wow, this photo is an amazing communication of an awesome building. I love how the glass curves away. The pattern draws the eye into the cylinder. Stunning work Sam, I'm going to have to go here someday now.

Wonderful...not much else to say but wonderful.

nice shot!

A stunning image of a stunning building. I love this space.

Gordito, you've misunderstood my post, probably because I didn't explain myself well ehough. My comment 'there is enough that is ugly' was meant to mean just the structures you mention. I didn't say anything about hating the British Museum atrium, I just expressed some doubts about the success of the aims of the new structure. Aegir explained this much better than I did!

I have no words. Beatiful composition.

Great use of space and very good shot.

Nice stitching work , I like this place and I m glad to see it in one single shot! great work!

Was this picture on the cover of a travel book? I swear I saw it! I freaked out a little haa
