We were asked to pick a photo technique or genre that interests us. So I found a wonderful informative site from Cambridge run by a photographer/scientist who has studied several photographic techniques. His name is Sean McHugh. His work encompasses mainly landscape and architecture in low light situations and is incredible. On his site he offers tutorials ranging from basic camera techniques to imaging tips and advanced topics such as Dynamic Range, Photo stitching and understanding diffraction.
I was interested in his photo stitching digital panoramas which enable the photographer to create images with higher resolution and wider angle of view than the digital camera or lens would usually allow. This technique is a very technical process which involves taking multipule images , aligning the photographs, correcting for perspective, lens distortioin, identifing pixel matches between subject matter and properly blending each photo at its seam. This also includes using some photo-stitching software. Although this is interesting to me, I think I am going to pick a photo genre to investigate instead!!!! But if you are interested in this technique, please go to the following site:

Even if you are not interested in the above technique, I strongly suggest seeing his Gallery of Photographs. They are amazing for their high resolution in low light!! Here is the direct site page:
