The Completion of the Panorama of London (1829): One of the most famous panoramic sketches of the city was completed on this date, created by an artist who spent weeks on top of St. Paul’s Cathedral with a 360-degree viewing frame.

Todays Challenge: "The High Point 360." Find the highest accessible point in your town. Capture a full 360-degree panorama. Focus on the "repeating" landmarks—try to see how many steeples or towers you can spot in the wide frame.

Pano Inspiration: To get the perspective right, the artist used a "circular drawing board" that rotated as he sketched, ensuring that the horizon stayed perfectly level.

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.
