NYC-based freelance photographer Robert Caplin compiled over 5,000 images that he captured using three cameras in 25 locations around Yankee Stadium, all in one night—and (as also seen on the New York Times Web site) the result is clearly worth all the effort. Caplin posts on his blog that he arrived at 3 P.M. on game day to scout locations before beginning to set up his cameras, which included three Canon 5D, Mark II bodies with a variety of lenses that ranged from a Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L USM wide-angle zoom to a Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8 Tilt-Shift. Caplin points out that he could have used any camera, however, considering that the Mark II's video functionality was not used; he compiled the video entirely from still images.

While some images were shot with the camera mounted on a standard tripod, Caplin also used a retrofitted motorized telescope mount to slowly pan as the camera fired, resulting in a very slick, unique time-lapse panorama of sorts.
