King Street Panoramic

I took pictures of one of my favorite areas of downtown Charleston (King St. between Morris and Cannon, looking west) and pieced them together to make a panoramic. There are about 8 or 9 pictures in there. I used a wide angle lens, which made piecing it together more difficult because the edges distort. But it was the only option since I was already as far back as I could be on the sidewalk across the street and barely fitting what I wanted into the frame. Though the panoramic gives the appearance that I’m far back, the road and sidewalks are actually very thin and the buildings across the street are really close. It’s mediocre at best, figuring the buildings look crooked or distorted and the sun was setting behind the buildings, making it a bad time to shoot. But it was fun anyways.
