view from Hungerford Bridge - or rather, on composites

Made this panorama with my trusty phonecam a while ago and got reminded of this "abandoned" one because i went to the David Hockney Portraits exhibition last week, and was quite impressed with the scale of some of his composites.

He started making composites from polaroids, and i made a note of the sizes they were in: 4(polaroids) x 4(polaroids), 12x8, 14x9, 17x6. I guess there is something appealing about making composites with polaroids. The image is still kind of "not fixed", and yet, it conforms to a certain dimension.

I remember the first composite i made with prints - and probably the only one. I was out shooting with wahj, and we took a 360º view of a field in Bugis(?) with our Lomo SuperSamplers. There is something really spontaneous about making composites with prints as opposed to doing it in Photoshop... I guess when i saw the Hockney ones, i wanted to do some with prints as well.
