This image was created using a brilliant program called Autostitch. I snapped 25 to 30 photos from the back step, turning through 180 degrees horizontally and going up about three frames vertically too. Then all I had to do was drop the images into Autostitch. I didn’t need to order them or position them or anything, Autostitch figured it all out, and did it really quickly considering they were 4 megapixel images.
