Prompt

The First Panoramic Survey of the Grand Canyon: On this date in the late 1800s, survey teams began using wide-format lenses to map the vertical and horizontal depth of the canyon walls.

Todays Challenge: "The Vertical Chasm." Find a steep drop-off or a tall building. Instead of a horizontal panorama, capture a vertical "vertorama" by sweeping from your feet up to the sky.

Pano Inspiration: Vertical panoramas were invented because standard lenses couldn't capture the full height of canyon walls and the river below in a single shot.

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.
