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

Todays Challenge: "Vertical Grandeur." Find a tall structure or trees. Capture a vertical panoramic sequence (starting at the bottom and sweeping up). This "vertorama" emphasizes height over width.

Pano Inspiration: Evans believed that a photograph should capture the "spirit" of a building, which often required a wide-angle perspective to show the entire interior at once.
