Panorama Collection, Fine Art Prints

Panoramic displays offer a unique approach to impact your lobby or great room of a home; this impact is made the moment a guest or potential client steps foot in your home or lobby.  While increasingly common in corporate and hotel lobbies, panoramas can dominate spaces and overwhelm visitors in the best of ways. Panoramic displays are more of a compliment to a lobby or entryway, lending “wow” factor to your space.

Panorama prints are also popular in what are known as triptych, tetraptych, pentaptych panel prints. A "triptych" is a three-part work; a tetraptych or quadriptych has four parts and a pentaptych had five panels. The composition of the work dictates how a work can be divided.

Making panoramic images isn't spontaneous point-and-shoot photography; it takes some preparation, it can get quite complex and expensive. The lighting can change drastically from 0° to 90° so exposure is much more complicated for a multi-frame panorama that for a single exposure image mandating increased computer processing time.  Properly executing panoramic images is not only an extremely rewarding skill, but also a necessary one when printing art measuring in feet instead of inches because of the necessary resolution.

Panoramic photography requires an array of specialized brackets and tripod heads.  These are designed to ensure that the camera rotates around the focal plane of the camera lens, otherwise known as the nodal point. Parallax or the shifting of an object as the camera changes position is the enemy of the panorama photographer. Understanding “nodal point” of the lens and the hardware to correct parallax distortion are some of the tools of the process. As photographers, we’re not stuck with the traditional, constrained shapes that our cameras provide if we go the extra mile.   Not all panoramas make it from the field, to thecomputer, to the market because of all the challenges mentioned above.

California Collection	I recently returned from California and had the opportunity to capture the Super Bloom. I added several captures to the California Landscape Gallery.

Moose in the Tetons It is a rare day when you can capture a perfect reflection of the Grand Tetons in the Snake River with the bonus of a moose or two. As a photography guide as well as a landscape photographer, I have been to this spot hundreds of times and this day made me very happy!
	A Venice Evening Photographing Venice Italy is amazing at any time of day but it positively glows shortly after sunset. Photographers call the time after sunset before it gets totally dark the “blue hour.” It is a great time to take photos, especially cityscapes, as the intermingling of natural and artificial light creates dramatic effects and the world is imbued with blue. The juxtaposition of warm and cold light can be quite pleasing.

Photography ~ The Nature Of Light	By Daryl L. Hunter Most photographers create random acts of beauty; enlightened nature photographers deliver consistent encapsulations of light and time. Galen Rowell once said: “The landscape is like being there with a powerful personality and I'm searching for just the right angles to make that portrait come across as meaningfully as possible.” Galen did so because of his mastery of light.From the inception of photography, it has been about capturing light.
Age and pursuit? I am at that awkward stage of aging where I sometimes forget about it, usually while in pursuit of an elusive photo with a rapid expiration date. It wasn’t until I was forty-three when I took on the task of fatherhood. Another task I added concurrently was to not appear to be the old guy to my young son Scott. I went too much pain to appear to be fifteen years younger, activity wise, than the weary carcass beneath the weary smile.
