Table In The Sun (heathpaleyphoto.com/tableinsun.html)




All of the images on this site are stitched together from multiple full frame 35 millimeter shots. They are composed of as many as 42 individual photographs. Stitching multiple 35 millimeter shots together allows me to combine the portability and extensive equipment selection of the 35 millimeter world, with the high resolution of large format photography. Stitching also allows me to tailor the form factor (the width and height) of the final image to the scene not by cropping (which removes resolution) but by choosing the adequate number of shots to fully portray the subject I am photographing. In other words, by stitching images together, I can carry around a relatively light equipment bag and yet still end up with large-scale prints that are full of detail.

The size of these images makes them difficult to display on the web. All of the images are presented with their largest dimension (either the width or the height) set at 1000 pixels, so they appear relatively similar in size. They are displayed in this way so that they will fit on the normal computer monitor without a lot of scrolling. The actual sizes, however, vary greatly–the smallest (when printed at the standard size) is 27" by 20", and the largest is 108" by 32". One drawback to setting the largest dimension at 1000 pixels is that the wider panoramas appear small when compared to the more narrowly focused images. I have chosen to use Zoomify* to help mitigate this predicament, because it allows me to display the images with a maximum dimension of 1000 pixels, but also gives the viewer the ability to zoom in on the detail that is the backbone of the image. In order for Zoomify to work you must have Flash Player v6 or higher installed on your computer.

The standard print size for each image is listed on its item page along with where and when it was taken. The print prices are based on the size of the standard print. All of these images can be printed in a smaller size as long as the proportion between the width and the height remains the same. If you would like a smaller print, it will be priced accordingly. To order a custom sized print please contact me via email or telephone.

These images are being offered in signed, limited editions of 10 prints. Unless otherwise arranged, they are printed on Epson Exhibition Fiber Paper (325 GSM) using an Epson Stylus Pro 9900 printer and the Epson HDR pigment ink set. The provenance of each print (i.e., the printer, ink, and paper used as well as the image size and the print date) will be listed on the lower-right corner of the back of the print.
