All four are three-pane photomerges done in PSCS4. The key to doing this easily, apart from having a static scene, is apparently to hold the camera very close to square to the subject, just as you would with a wide angle lens, as you rotate horizontally to take the picture series. The last of the four, of the church in Dedham, is from a three-pane series with the camera rotated vertically. That works too. Photomerge automatically corrected the geometric distortion caused by the upward tilt of the camera. I wonder how long it will be before a camera comes with built in photomerge capability?
