Re: Reminds me of Nude Descending A Staircase

"Does the panorama insist on up->down, left->right, or can you reverse the direction?"

There's a menu option to pick the direction. It needs to know what direction you're going to move the camera because it allocates the memory first, and then writes out a portion of the image as you move the camera. It also needs a scene with distinct features that it can grab as reference points as the camera moves. The first panorama I tried failed because a shingled roof doesn't have enough distinct features, turning the camera sides and telling it I was doing an up/down panorama fixed the problem. (sideways, I could include the barn windows in the picture)

"Something tells me there has to be one somewhere along the infinite corridor."

The stairs from building 8 down to building 16 might work.

"One could also create a similar image by shooting against a black background, and doing multiple exposures."

Or a long exposure and a flashing strobe. But I think the serendipity of using the panorama mode be more interesting.
