I’m not a city or a town person, but what I did was to capture the centre of Christchurch.
Obviously this was captured some time ago.
I captured something like 43 images, 360 deg pano in two layers ( pointing up and down )
to get the perspective that I was after. For the few hours that I captured Christchurch that day,
I only shot about 60 frames all told.
The insert is cut out of the pano, showing the detail from one of my prints that I made.
For copyright reasons I removed all logos and trade names off all of the buildings, not a small task.
From memory it took about three days work to put all the images together.
