Memorial Bridge – Rediscovering a 90 Year Old Panorama

So, I’ve always been a big history fan.  Recently, this has manifested itself in a borderline obsession with the Memorial Bridge, in Portsmouth, NH.  In researching the building of the bridge at The Portsmouth Athenaeum’s website, I found a large archive of photos from the construction process (see the video I created below from 1920′s news reel and photos during the construction of the bridge).   But what really peaked my interest was a series of 6 photos, taken from the same vantage point (the top of the North Tower) and seeming to have been designed to be displayed together in a primitive sort of panorama.

And that got me wondering – would it be possible to stitch these 90 year old photos together into a modern panorama?  First, I tried our commercial stitching program, but due to slight differences in the images and limited overlap, it wasn’t coming together as I hoped.  So much for the easy way!  But by this point I was determined – and started to stitch the photos together manually using Photoshop.  After about an hour, I had a pretty presentable final product (above).

I still get a kick out of the idea that 90 year old images, taken with a comparatively rudimentary camera, were able to be turned into a modern panorama.  Pretty exciting stuff – Enjoy!

Dramatic Dostie Home in Pablo Creek

We recently had the opportunity to photograph another Dostie home.   This two story home, located in Jacksonville’s Pablo Creek Reserve, sports a somewhat open floor plan with lots of extras – such as outdoor kitchen, mud/pool room, and a gigantic laundry room (something our family could certainly use).  The master suite has a stunning westerly view – perfect for watching the sun set over the distant marsh.

One thing unique to Deremer Studios architectural photography is that, whenever possible, we capture a selection of ultra-high resolution panoramas, such as the one below.  Just another reason why you can’t find a better combination of quality, value and affordability anywhere else!  Enjoy the photos!

Deremer Studios specializes in Architectural photography – both residential and commercial.  Our specialized equipment, designed specifically for this sort of photography, enables us to creatively capture almost any space!  Check out some of our favorite shots from this shoot below.
