The Panorama of the "Grand Tour": On this date in the 18th century, travelers returned to London with multi-plate "long-view" etchings of Venice, the first wide-format "souvenirs" of the world.

Todays Challenge: "The Long-View Souvenir." Capture a panorama of a local bridge or waterway. Edit the image to have a sepia or "etched" look, mimicking a 300-year-old panoramic travel print.

Pano Inspiration: These prints were so long they were often kept in specialized "panorama boxes" and unrolled with a hand-crank for guests.

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.
