Invention of the Linhof Technorama: This German-engineered 6x17 camera became the premier tool for professional panoramic photographers, known for its incredible sharpness and wide aspect ratio.

Todays Challenge: "The 6x17 Crop." Take a high-resolution wide-angle photo. Crop it so that it is exactly 3 times wider than it is tall. Look for a composition that feels balanced at this extreme width.
