Out of curiosity, are you using a tripod to keep the camera in the same spot while you shoot each frame? or do you just piece them together in photoshop afterwards?

The product looks AWESOME!! great work!

Greta pix Scott..thanks for the write up too..very interesting to look through your blog. just wanted to klnow (if not too secret) what are the PS filters/techniques you use to get the final image so crisp/clear and electric looking..the first base image of the mini are very yellow with no contrast in the mountains.. i guess it’s a case of fiddling with individual bits - but whats the overall way you get the ‘blue crisp’ effect?? thanks and will keep looking at your superb work.


[…] here for Part […]
