Edge 55 Apartments

Today I got the chance to shoot the Edge 55 apartment complex near TCU. These are some pretty nice apartments. I was, for the most part, given free range to shoot anything of interest. It was also a good chance to try out a new technique at photographing an interior panorama.

If you don't know, an interior panorama has one major issue compared to the larger landscape panorama. Objects are closer to the camera and therefore will shift location in the camera when using a standard tripod. It's called a parallax error. It happens because the camera is rotating around the sensor not the lens. If you have $200, you can purchase a panoramic head for your tripod, but I don't. So,  I took the head off my tripod and used the screw mount as a pivot point for my lens.









I shot with a 10-22mm lens attached to my 7d (with the crop sensor this is
effectively 16mm), so the non-parallax point on this lens is relatively close to its front. The result went well. Although, I was also shooting HDR and was only able to fire off 3 consecutive exposures per frame using the 7d's high speed continuous mode.
