STEP INTO THE LIGHT

Love panoramas. They are unobstructed, continued representation of the whole scene. I learned the concepts and techniques back in my cinematographic years. In still imaging, panoramas accompany my portrait, event, and even macro projects; they are absolutely inescapable aspect of landscape or nature photography.

Big bug’s mobility can, sometimes, be controlled by the temperature what proves inapplicable to Homo sapiens, unless I’m running an epic production. Hence comes the challenge: people keep moving fast regardless of their age

and surroundings.

The category of panoramic portraits is yet another temptation. My subjects need room to breathe and let viewers know more about their personal space and environment. Here, I knew that Gene loves rolling hills and mountains and he is a great teacher and mentor.

Then come the breathtaking vistas, oceans, lakes, valleys;

and all the pretty horses, I mean bisons;

sunrises, sunsets, and “Beethoven clouds”;

mountains and glaciers — bringing serenity, serendipity, evocation, expressiveness, the list is endless.

Among all the exclamation points that dodge through the pre-visualization stage of panoramic rush, I hear the voice of panorama king, George Lepp, “before you start, find your concluding frame” .
