Sketch

Birth of Richard Avedon: Born in 1923, he occasionally used "triptych panography"—three separate wide-format frames joined together—to capture the chaotic energy of large crowds.

Todays Challenge: "The Sequential Triptych." Capture a wide scene and divide it into three distinct vertical panels. Try to make each "panel" a strong photo on its own, but even better when seen as a continuous set.

Pano Inspiration: Avedon used the "gap" between the frames to suggest that time was passing between each slice of the panorama.

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.
