Sketch

Birth of Margaret Bourke-White: Born in 1904, she was a pioneer of the "Industrial Wide," using panoramic perspectives to capture the soaring steel beams and massive scale of modern dams and factories.

Todays Challenge: "Industrial Geometry." Find a bridge, a crane, or a construction site. Capture a wide-format panorama that focuses on the repeating steel patterns and the massive scale of the machinery.

Pano Inspiration: Bourke-White was known for carrying her wide-format cameras onto the ledges of skyscrapers to get the most "overwhelming" panoramic perspective possible.
