This is a vertical panorama of the World Trade Center at the inner harbor of Baltimore, MD.

Used the Nikon D300 @ 27mm: F11, at 1/500, ISO 200.
Consists of 13 images stitched with PTGui.

As I was using a panorama head my camera was mounted vertically. Would have been better if I had made 2 rather than one column for a wider image but that would have taken a lot more time than I had available to coordinate the degree of elevation of each image. I did not try to change the perspective as that is/was how my eye saw the building. The overlap was guess work, looks like I had more images than needed but, more is better than not enough.

Here is my take on this. I assumed that the walls of the building are vertical. I thought the edit would be quick and dirty. It was only dirty as you can see but it illustrates the principles of wider framing and true verticals. Only a matter of taste.

Looks to me as if the building gets wider as it goes up???
I acknowledged my need for wider framing, in that aspect yours is better than mine..

I know. That bothers me too. Notice I assumed the walls were straight. I wonder if the building was designed to have slanted walls in front going up about three quarters of the way and then the walls become straight.

What did you stitch with?
Looks like what would be a curvilinear distortion if it were horizontal. Interesting...

I stitch with LR or PS but this one involved no stitching. I copied the vertical edges, flipped them horizontally, positioned them and then flattened the image. I can set up screen sharing if you want to see exactly how I did it. Also, you have to make the canvas larger.
