Beyond The Pale, Close To The Edge


Several months ago, a firmware update was issued for one of my cameras that enabled a photographer to combine nine individual photographs of a given subject taken in rapid succession into one extremely high resolution image. Several hundred megapixels of resolution... For things to work out well, of course, it is critical that the camera and subject not move at all during the data acquisition process. So, naturally, I wanted to find out what would happen if I intentionally moved the camera during the taking of the multi-image sequence. I think it is interesting to see what happens at the edges of the envelope, beyond the pale, near the thin ice, so to speak. Experiments. Sometimes useful. Always fun.
