McDonald's Merivale Road stitched in Microsoft ICE "Perspective" mode.
Here's a dramatic angle of the Merivale Road McDonald's in Nepean that I made for Google Maps.
I took several vertical photos using my Sony Nex-5K mirrorless camera and a wide lens (18mm equivalent) and then composited them into a single shot using Microsoft ICE and selected "Perspective" mode for the projection.
"Perspective" is hit or miss, sometimes parts of the image away from the centre, especially cars in the foreground, get ridiculously distorted, but since I shot this McDonald's with the restaurant itself being right in the centre and left a lot of sky and bushes at the edges, I think it turned out fantastic.
One thing I especially like is that I was able to crop it just short of the sidewalk so it almost makes it look like that this McDonald's is in the middle of scrubland although there's a glimpse of Family Brown Lane at the right edge of the shot to break the illusion that this McDonald's is completely surrounded by brush.
