219 Pano -- OOPS!!

Went back to the hospital campus again today. I decided to shoot a different view of the Endless Hallway (Post 209). The following for instructional purposes for others.

OOPS Hallway

First one needs to understand the layout of the hall. From about the position of the black car the hallway travels to the right in a straight line. From the black car traveling left it is a quarter of a circle. The intended image was to reflect the hallway being The same height to the left of the car and trail off sharply to the right. Boy did I goof.

First I was on a correct line (perpendicular to the circle) But a car was in the way so I could not get to the center of the arc of the hall, putting me at different distances from the various sections of the curved hallway. Then to reduce the number of exposures I used a very wide angle lens. This lens made the hallway on the far left seem to fall away due to the perspective of the wide angle lens (this focal length did have the desires result on the straight section to the left.)

The sad part is, this image may never get done correctly done due to a cease and desist order by hospital security. It is possible that I might get approval to shoot some more but it is going to require a lot of paper work. The bright side is I have been confronted by the police only twice this month for taking pictures.

So what is a photographer to photograph without being confronted by the police.

And so it goes -- Documenting The Human Condition
