: as I've mentioned
: I'm finding it hard to get a decent picture with my shop being as narrow
: as it is. I can only take a picture of the whole boat lengthwise, which
: gives a poor perspective of what the kayak really looks like.
Ken, walk along the hull and take pictures at 3 foot intervals. Try to keep the camera at the same height, and distance from the centerline of the boat, and keep the lens perpendicular to the boat. You'll get 5 to 7 pictures which you can lay side by side. Overlap the prints, lining them up as best as you can to get a panorama view of the hull. Sometimes the pictures match best if you overlap them and cut through the middle of the double layer of photos with a sharp knife or razorblade. You eliminate the distortion that occurs at the edges of the photos. Lining them up on a window or light table helps, too.
A little tape on the back of these pictures give you a lovely, long, photo or a lovely, long, boat.
