Prison Safari is a combination of elements from two different photography trips, one to Port Arthur and another to the Serengeti of Africa.

Creating the HDR images

I created a panoramic HDR image of the Port Arthur Penitentiary by taking multiple bracketed images in portrait mode. I use portrait mode when taking panoramic photos to try to escape any geographic distortion. I then created the individual HDR images in Photomatix. In total the original image was made up of 5 HDR frames stitched together. The stitching was done in photoshop cs5.
