This was the very first Mosaic I did. This shot is of the action on an old upright piano that was in my friend Linda's living room. It is a simple 10-frame (5 across by 2 high) shot with a Nikon e5700, 5 megapixel SLR type camera and done as a test of the process. it is a natural light shot with light coming from a large patio door set with sheer curtains to diffuse the light. This first attempt at the approach was stitched together by hand, a truly masochistic process. I actually did it over several times because I could not both line up the support bar and the hammers. Finally I went out to it with a long straight edge and discovered the bar (the wooden piece with the logo on it) was actually curved and not straight as I assumed. I did a few early ones like this but when I got into some serious shooting of about 20-30 frames it was time to let the computer do the heavy lifting.

Take a look especially at the detail around the lower hammers where you can see the dust bunnies and cat hair trapped there. |
