Pano shot with Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 AFD

The Black Widow Returns!, originally uploaded by PhotoBal.

This pic is composed of about 100 shots taken with a Nikon D3 and Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 lens shot at f/1.4. I wanted to get a narrow DOF (its about 3 feet here) and wide field of view and a compressed perspective. I used CS4 to put this final image together using Photomerge. I like this version. The first version, which is here www.flickr.com/photos/photobal/4460746843/ had light and dark patches which I think were caused by vignetting. Tried to correct for it but could not get it work nicely. CS4 corrects this autmagically.

This image is 11417 x 6647 pixels, huge! I wished I had taken a few more frames to get the right side of the building in.
