The Long View

Those of you who knew me in college, particularily my junior year, will remember a photographic obsession that I had with panoramic photographs, particularily 360 degree photos. It came from a photo essay on cave paintings in New Mexico that I saw in a photography magazine. The photographer took long 360 degree images leading to a super long panoramic extravaganza of bizarre lighting. I fell in love with the medium and went out to try some for myself. My efforts resulted in one eerie photograph of the Huron River which made it look like a lake with an island and bench in the middle of it (the place where I'd taken the photo). It remains to this day the only photograph I have ever sold, it went for $100. If I ever become a Van Gogh or Rembrandt the girl who bought it is very lucky because I lost the original file and my brother has the only other copy (and his got caught in the printer and kind of chewed up.)

Now I'm getting into it again, mostly being frustrated with the wide angle options that I can afford and being consistantly presented with breath taking vistas. It also helps that I have a new program that came with the Canon point and shoot I got, called "Photo stitch" It take the tedious hours and hours out of meticulously cloning and healing together 16 photographs and does it automatically. Of course, it isn't always perfect. It doesn't seem to understand a split car very well, but when I get a copy of photoshop to work with I will be able to do that myself very easily. Anyway, check out this picture of the Brooklyn Bridge, I suggest clicking on it so you can view it full size.


Para los gentes quien me conoceron en universidad, especialidad en mi tercer ano, sabais sobre mi amor para las fotografias muy largas. Este es de una historia fotografia en un noticia que yo lei sobre pintas en Nueva Mexico. La fotografias estan de todo y la luz es muy interesante porque hay dos sols en la pictura. Yo amo este y sacude fotografias a concordia mismo. Mi favorito fue un foto de la Rio Huron cual mira que una isla en una lago. Este fue el solo foto que yo vende a un otro, y es muy especial porque no tengo la original ahora y solamente mi hermano tiene un otro foto, y su foto es roto.

Ahora yo amo otra vez. Porque es dificil sacar fotos con mi lenses que tengo y miro muchas vistas que queiro sacar. Ahora yo tengo una nueva programa se llama foto stitch. En la pasada fue mut tedioso y dificil hacer una foto larga. Este programa hace este muy facil. Mira a mi foto para [clicking] en lo.
