Project: April 2009: Panoramic

Photo.net Monthly ProjectApril 2009


A panoramic image is one that is significantly longer in one dimension than another. Or, to say it another way, a panoramic image is a long rectangle. While there is no set definition for what aspect ratio defines an image as panoramic or not, I would wager a guess that for many people an image needs to be at least twice as long on one side vs the other (an aspect ratio of 2:1) before they would call it "panoramic".

This month, I want to see a whole pile of long rectangles. You can shoot with a panoramic camera, crop from a larger image, or even stitch images together in photoshop. All I care about is that it be panoramic.
