There is a lot of stuff to consider when doing this. LOL. Its not just taking three photos and stick them next to each other.

I am happy with the result.

Nice.  I have an image I was thinking the other day might make a good triptych.  You've reminded me to go experiment.  What kind of stuff did you find yourself having to check?  I can imagine overall and individual composition, and alignment of each image so the lines flow from one to the next... anything else?

Not that I can think off, the images dont line up when they site next to each other. They have to be hung apart to create the optical illusion its an ongoing line. But other than that I didnt run into any issues. So when shooting the images, I didnt know that, and ended up photoshopping the middle image so that it would look like one line.

Nice triptych. Interesting subject to choose. I like it.

I have one of waves crashing over a pier from Hurricane Sandy hanging in its second show right now (three separate scenes) . It was nice to make something attractive to look at from that disaster. Most of the pix I took were pretty scary.

I wish that we could sell photos in groups of three on FAA and other POD sites. I had put them together as a triptych when I presented my work to the first gallery, but they wanted them printed very large so three separate photos hung together made more sense than one gigantic one given printing and shipping costs. Something I hadn't thought about until it came time to print them for the show. I'd suggest having all three available separately too because once you get over a certain size (I think 20" x 30") shipping costs become truly astronomical since they need to be crated.

Thanks. I like it too. I just created one gallery for them, so they sit next to each other.
