Panorama

Panorama has been around almost as long as photography. This done by showing a series of images next to each other in order to create one photo. One such photographer was H.H Bennett who could print three or four 20" x 24" sized negatives onto one enormous sheet of paper with almost no indication of where the negatives met. the photo below is one of his,of the Wisconsin river.

Using the panorama setting on my camera I have taken a number of photos shown above. The grey space of these photos indicates the maximum length of a photo, and can be cropped out of later photos.

I took this Panorama 1335 feet up, over the plains of Shropshire. In the composition of this photo I have used the rocks on the right to put the expanse of the fields into perspective. When editing this photo I used levels twice. The first was to bring out the contrast in the sky and the second, the colours in the fields.
