The Panorama of Rome (360): In 1823, a massive circular painting of Rome was exhibited, utilizing a "light-shaft" in the ceiling to make the painted sun appear to glow realistically.

Todays Challenge: "The Sun-Drenched Wide." Capture a panorama that includes the sun directly in the frame. Focus on the lens flare and how the light "stretches" across the wide horizon.

Pano Inspiration: Panorama rotundas were designed with hidden skylights so that the weather outside would actually change the "mood" of the painting inside.

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.
