Adelaide Graffitti

[bobinatcat]

This was taken in Adelaide a few years back in a alley somewhere...I just foudn the art interesting.
Shame there isn't more in Perth in strange places.
Personally I have no problem with things such as below, just people "tagging" everywhere...eg the bits on the writing of peoples symbol you can see over the art below.

As you can see it is three images stitched and I have no idea how to do it properly...

1. Place all three images on "new canvas"
2. Tried to draw to compensate.
3. Discovered the Free Transform tool of the selection box
4. Levels to try and get the back ground colour even
...didnt even bother with the bricks behind though.

Really just a fun attempt.

But how would everyone else do it?

P.s.

Do you have photoshop? If so, in CS3 it's really easy to do. File > Automate > Photomerge and then just follow the steps. You do need to have a bit of overlap for each of the shots though.

When stitching shots such as these, it is best to use a focal length that is on the tele side for a flatter image. This is to eliminate curvature at the edges that wide focal lengths produce. Overlap by around a third, and shoot directly perpendicular to the wall. If you start from the left, take a few steps to the right and then shoot again, keeping the same distance to the wall. I use the sidewalks edge as reference. Also, it is best to switch to manual so that the aperture/shutter speed setting do not change from shot to shot.
