The Widelux F7 Launch: This date marks the release of the most famous model of the Widelux swing-lens camera, which became a favorite for street photographers and Hollywood cinematographers.

Todays Challenge: "The Street Sweep." Walk through a busy area. Capture a "blind" panorama by holding your camera at waist level and sweeping it across the crowd. Look for the "candid" wide-angle life you capture.

Pano Inspiration: Because the lens swings, a Widelux doesn't have the "wide-angle stretch" at the edges, making people look naturally proportioned even at the very edge of the frame.
