Firstly I would like to thank Elaine @elaine55 for hosting the last technique challenge. As always, a very big thank you to all those who participated and voted!
Intimidated by the impressive list of the past 34 technique challenges, it took me while to find a technique that was not used before. As with everything else, I started here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Photographic_techniques) and ultimately ended up here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panography) and here (http://content.photojojo.com/tutorials/panographies/).
Panography, or Joiners, is a photographic technique in which one picture is assembled from several overlapping photographs. A panograph is distinct (from a collage or a panorama) because the overlapping edges between adjacent pictures are not removed; the edge becomes part of the picture.
Please tag your photos TECHNIQUE-35

To get you started, I've attached a couple of my feeble attempts here :-)
The challenge starts today December 11th and ends on December 22nd. Photos must be taken and posted during this period to be eligible.
Constructive & kind feedback is encouraged. Please post your photos to this thread so others can learn. Feel free to share tips and links/tutorials with all.
I look forward to the fantastic panographs you will create!
What a coincidence - last night I was thinking it has been a while since I have done a joiner and then this morning I see this. I am going to try to do this although it might be a bit tricky as when I have done joiners before it has been the 1 photo and I used the rectangular marquee tool to select smaller sections of the photo and copied and pasted them onto a blank page in Photoshop. Thank You for the challenge.
This turned out to be more difficult than I expected... Although I regularly make automated panoramas, I wanted to make one with some transparency and do it manually. At least I learned a few things in the process!
@laetitiapetrussa Laetitia I know what you mean. I tried doing it manually and it took me an hour to assemble 25 photos with 50% opacity and in the end it looked so bad that I had to delete it :)
@lambda haha, exactly. First I had way to many shots from too close,then, I had too many skewed ones, and the third time (the charm?) I decided to use 70% opacity. It took me a bit more than 2h in total. But I learned, and that's the point of this challenge! :-)
posted my first year on the site before I knew there was an app for that! Actually it was meant to be a little disjointed after the artist David Hockney
@summerfield Hi Vikki - yes it all counts. All we are looking for is the final product. Thanks for the tip about pic monkey - I will give it a try myself. Great panograph of a portrait - thanks for entering.
@summerfield I was not able to find panograph effect on pic monkey. I have the basic editing version you get through 365. Do I need to upgrade? Thanks.
Tweets ahoy!
