Giants v. Braves at AT&T park last Monday, one of many sellouts during Barry's chase. This pic is a composite of about six images.

Thanks for the nice comments, AF & KK.

As for Tabrizi... I took the shots as close to one another as I could to avoid players appearing in multiple shots. :) The center of the composite photo is all one shot, and the rest were stitched in with Photoshop. I simply put the photos in different layers and partially erased the top one until blended properly. The black sky allowed for easy stitching at the top, and the somewhat "anonymous" nature of the crowd allowed for easy blending there, as well. The green field was fairly uniform and also easy, but the foul lines took a little work. I did have to apply some brightness/contrast adjustments to the outer photos to get the crowd brightness blended properly, although the shadows from the bleacher overhangs helped here. You'll notice that the left and right sets of stadium lights have been dimmed quite a bit, relative to the central ones. If I had spent more time on it, I probably would have adjusted those separately. I also used enough overlap between the shots so that I could, for example, avoid blending altogether on the coke bottle (just blended around it). Thanks for the question!

If I may ask, how you did this with all the right lighting & without any blur...

Very cool panorama of the game - great colors and exposure! I love the wide view of the crowd, plus the action of the game.
