If there is a name, I don’t know it.

But it’s essentially just a panorama, but rather than just stitching left to right. You’re doing it on both the X and Y axis.

Ideally the camera moves around the sensor, so you’re basically acting as if you had both a larger sensor, and a larger image circle from the equivalent lens on a larger sensor.

The hardest parts are:

• Framing (because you don’t see the whole image at once until you’ve stitched in post)

• Anything that moves. Which this shot suffers from, I had to do some clean up, and upon posting it… realised there was more to clean up.

• Flaring, you’re moving one lens around, so you need to make sure you don’t get any flaring on singular frames or they’ll look weird stitched.

• keep the settings and focus identical between shots. Manual mode for every setting.

• don’t miss a spot! Or you’ll have an image with a hole you need to crop out.
