Sketch

Birth of Frederick Evans (The Soaring Wide): Born in 1853, he was a master of architectural photography who used wide perspectives to capture the soaring, panoramic heights of English cathedrals.

Todays Challenge: "The Vertorama Arch." Find an archway or a tall doorway. Capture a vertical panorama (sweeping from the ground up to the ceiling). Focus on the "flow" of the architecture as it curves above you.

Pano Inspiration: Evans believed that a wide-format photo should capture the "spirit" of a building, which required showing the entire space from the floor to the vaulted roof.

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.
