Method photography is an image compositing technique based on the perspective alignment of two architectural or landscape photographs about 100 years apart.
It is a technique that uses a digital imaging process to compensate for perspective distortion and misalignments brought about by image plates and lens aberrations synonymous with old style photography. About 80% of the accuracy however comes down to old fashioned composition and perspective callibration.
