   That’s what I thought. Just wondering how high the camera had to be mounted. At first I thought it was a composite but after scrutinizing it in Photoshop I couldn’t see anywhere it could have been spliced.

   You say camera, could it be a lens? If so….I WANT one!

   Helluva shot anyway.

   It was done with a panoramic camera. Not the ones we see today which can take extra-wide photos, by the kind using real film which is exposed by a slit allowing light through. As the camera rotates on a handle, the film is advanced and exposed by the slit.
