The Panorama of the Nile (Aerial): This date commemorates early balloon photography efforts to capture wide-format "strip" panoramas of the ancient Egyptian ruins from above.

Todays Challenge: "The Top-Down Grid." Find an interesting pattern on the ground (like tiles, a garden, or a street). Capture a 2x2 or 3x3 grid of photos looking straight down and stitch them into a flat "map" panorama.

Pano Inspiration: These early balloon panoramas were the first time archaeologists could see the "plan" of a city that had been buried for thousands of years.

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.
