The Panoramic Views of the Moon’s Far Side: In the late 1960s, Soviet and American probes sent back the first wide-format "strip" panoramas of the lunar surface that humans had never seen before.

Todays Challenge: "The Hidden Vista." Find a place you usually walk past but never look at (like an alley or the back of a building). Capture a wide panorama to reveal the "hidden" details of that space.

Pano Inspiration: These early space panoramas were transmitted via radio waves and then reconstructed on Earth like a giant, cosmic jigsaw puzzle.

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.
