  Only rendering part of a frame

Hey all,

I have a curious graphic whose render will result in a frame which is
symetrical left and right. The complicated lighting and reflections I
employed make a 7 hour render not unacceptable, but surely unwanted. If I
could just render half and then duplicate it and flip it, I could save 4.5
hours. But I seem to devise a method of doing so. My rotating the camera to
only view half, I change the focal point and the perspectives all shift. I
am failing to summon the technical terms to describe this phenomena, but
for those of you who understand what I am speaking of and perhaps how to
leave my camera in place, while only rendering part of the frame, I would
appreciate any advice you could offer.

Sincerely,
Jared Chung
