Hi Richard, That's a lovely task! [😉] Given how the pillars aren't very large, I think you can get away with shooting the whole wall at the same distance (approximately on the same line as the pillars are) with a wide-angle lens (24 mm), and then stitching the images together on Agisoft PhotoScan Pro. Moving in parallel to the wall, when you get to a pillar, I'm pretty sure that when you move to the other side of it there will be sufficient overlap for this not to be a worry. You'll need an overlap of about 60% between each image, as you might know already. This is if you're lucky to have PhotoScan Pro! If you don't however, I can't think of another software that would do such a good job.... Good luck with this!

Hi All, My first email on this, so firstly hello all…. I am one of the photographers at IWM and we have be tasked to photograph the Maps on the wall in the Map room at The Churchill War Rooms. ( see attached images ) The main problem is that there are many things in the way of the maps, and to get in front of the obstructing pillars you are about 60 cm from the Map. We have thought the best way to do this would be to lay a small track and dolly down parallel to the map and the shoot the map in sections with the camera attached to a vertical slider then stitch it all together. Does anyone think this is the way to go, or know of a better way to go about it ? The map goes almost to the floor and almost to the ceiling above the light fittings. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Many thanks Richard Ash Photographer [log in to unmask] 020 7416 5356 [http://www.iwm.org.uk/corporate/projects-partnerships/iwm-short-film-festival?utm_campaign=short-film-fest&utm_source=eSignature&utm_medium=email&utm_content=20170130_eSignature]<https://eu-api.mimecast.com/s/click/FWSdkCy0aYKqFXVee2SqYSjueMT1Ps23qqvqZKOfSMhxjuZd6YKjpgRAivD5skahrPsoz2Pbdrkpt46OQ2PRE8oUVO8vwNcDoLwUJDDqQeMl4Y8uFJbpq4kRfHipIN0NUKkjY21Nl3DLANdS0icFen9UAo6Dri4cP0DWT8lggow> IWM Short Film Festival Call For Entries<http://www.iwm.org.uk/corporate/projects-partnerships/iwm-short-film-festival?utm_campaign=short-film-fest&utm_source=eSignature&utm_medium=email&utm_content=20170130_eSignature>
