Earth Day Panoramic Surveys: Since 1970, wide-format satellite imagery has been used on this date to track the "Global Panorama" of forest cover and ocean health from space.

Todays Challenge: "The Green Horizon." Find a local park or forest. Capture a panorama that focuses on the "line of green" where the trees meet the sky. Use the wide format to show the density of the nature.

Pano Inspiration: Earth Day helped popularize "remote sensing," where panoramas are used as scientific data to see the health of the entire planet at once.

Unusual Perspectives

In panography, changing your perspective; the angle, height, and position of the camera significantly impact the final composition. By breaking away from the typical eye-level perspective, you can add depth, emotion, and visual interest to your panoramas.
