Birth of Edward Weston: Born in 1886, while he is known for close-ups, his "panoramic" views of the dunes at Oceano used the wide frame to turn simple sand into abstract, flowing art.

Todays Challenge: "The Abstract Dune." Find an area with sand, snow, or fabric. Capture a panorama that focuses on the curves and shadows rather than the objects. Try to make the scene look like an abstract painting.

Pano Inspiration: Weston taught that the "entire frame" must be considered, a lesson that is vital for panoramic photographers who have much more frame to fill.

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.
