Panorama photography...

Capturing the feeling
of
wideness of a landscape is very difficult. Many of us have tried to
solve that.
An idea seems to be to
take a picture with a wide-angle lens, and crop off the upper and/or
lower parts. However, that means losing quite a few pixels!
A better appoach is to
make a high resolution panorama image. It takes some time making
and, afterwards, stitching, but the reward will be an image which
almost overwhelmes the viewer with details! |

Blossoming lavender fields,
imagine the scent!

During our visit, the
mistral was blowing, the air was very dry, so no haze at all!

On a sunny winters day, standing on top of a 12 story building, I had the
opportunity of making some fine shots.
The result was a 3
meter wide panorama image in fine art 300 dpi quality. It is
almost impossible to show the impact of this image on the
internet...
By clicking on the
main panorama image, you will see a 400px wide image. The real
thing however is 34500px wide...
In the center are
our "beloved" two towers, the Martinitoren and the
Aa kerktoren . |
Mont Blanc & Lac Leman

This panorama shows
Europe's highest mountain range, behind te Geneva Lake.
This great panorama was
shot by a dear friend of mine, I was rewarded with stitching and
editing. We both are very happy with the result. |
After printing, drying...

I spent the entire day

A HI-RES image of the EPHESUS great amphitheatre, composed of 2
rows of 8 shots each... Every crack and stone appears!
This technique results in some amusing effects, the boy in the
red shirt, in fact my son, appears 3 times.
This is also the "biblical" site where St Paul met
Demetrius the silver blacksmith. |
|
Another amazing city,
PRIENE, one of the Ionian cities, also has some remarkable ruins.
This one is a panorama of the central Theatre.
Priene used to have a
harbour, but today the great turkish river "Meander" needs about 15
kilometres more to reach the sea...
This city has almost
been left untouched... |
...but it is very impressive
