this is where i live and proof i'm a nerd (originally posted 2006-10-08)

i just discovered "photomerge" in photoshop, and went to town photographing my apartment (even though it's meant for landscapes and is confused by fisheye distortion). i've wanted a good fast super-wide angle lens for a while now (the one i want is $1400), and i just get a huge kick out of this little cheat/shortcut to that kind of image. i did get a little overzealous in some places and overlapped the images too much, which confused the program and caused some distortion, but over all i like it a lot. these were all shot late this morning/early afternoon using natural/ambient light and some white balance tweaking: Living room 1 Living room 2 Dining room 1 Dining room 2 Dining room 3 Kitchen Bathroom Luc's (room mate) room 1 Luc's (room mate) room 2 My bedroom 1 My bedroom 2 My bedroom 3 My bedroom 4 i shot this one like normal and cropped:
