Prompt

Birth of Hiroji Kubota (Magnum Panoramas): A key Magnum photographer who dedicated years to capturing the landscapes of Asia using cinematic, wide-format color film and specialized lenses.

Todays Challenge: "The Cinematic Horizon." Capture a wide panorama during "golden hour." Use a very wide aspect ratio (like 2.39:1) and focus on the mood and color of the sky to create a movie-like vista.

Pano Inspiration: Kubota used the wide-format to show the relationship between the massive Asian landscape and the tiny people who live within it.
