I know it's not what you asked, but have you thought of not attempting to
stitch the various shots together, but presenting them in a matrix as
individual photographs. I refer you to the book:
Hockney on "Art": Conversations with Paul Joyce.
David Hockney went through a phase of taking multiple photographs and
mounting them in a matrix. He referred to them as "joiners". In this book
he shows a view of the Grand Canyon done in this fashion. It certainly
gives a visual impression of the magnatude of the place. He also did
composites, a good example of this in the same book is Route 66. Some items
he emphasises by repeating them in the same image. A form of abstraction. I
recommend having a read of this, even if you may not use the ideas.
He comments on varying the viewpoint, and that photographs often, very
obviously freeze a instant of time, whereas paintings often do not, they
appear timeless. A difficult concept to get into words. Joiners give some
ability to go for the timeless aspect.
Since reading your email I have reserved this book from my local library to
read again. Hope this helps.
Allan.
