When I was first introduced to this project, I immediately knew what the subject of my piece was going to be, the University of Phoenix Stadium.  I chose to do my photomontage of the stadium because I knew that I had pictures of it when it was first being built and thought it would be cool to incorporate them into the piece.  So, all I needed was a set of current pictures, with which I could easily incorporate the building pictures of the structure into.

Getting the pictures I wanted turned out to be an all day event.  I spent the day taking a series of zoomed in pictures of the stadium that I would later piece together to make my photomontage.  I took three sets of picture: one set at noon, one set in the evening, and one set at night.  I did my best to set my camera in the same position in front of the stadium each time, according to my pictures I took back in 2006.  This proved to be difficult as many things in the scenery changed, but I was able to get it pretty close.

After I took all the pictures I needed, all I had to then was piece them together in Photoshop using the photo stitch tool.  I started by stitching all of the noon shots first, which took a while to do because of the file size and the amount of pictures I was stitching.  When that was done, I then took various pictures from the evening and night shots and overlaid them onto the stitched noon shots.  Finally, after I had finished with that, I added the finishing touch of overlaying the picture of the stadium being built on top of the entire image.
