Panographies: Panoramas on Steroids

Do you ever look up at the sky, a towering office building, or an expansive landscape and wish your photos could capture everything you can see with your eyes? We do, so of course, there is a way to do it. Otherwise, why would we bother writing about it? :)
Our pal Mareen does this neat thing she calls panography. Taking dozens of photos of a scene, she assembles a patchwork of images that more accurately represents what your eyes see when you’re not looking through a viewfinder.
Call it super wide-angle panorama or call it panography, I think it’s awesome. Check out the inspiration galleries on Flickr, and then go check out Panographies: Panoramas on Steroids on PhotoJoJo!

This is done in a much more automatic way by lots of people to create high resolution digital images. Check out http://www.tawbaware.com/forum2/ for a great gallery and discussion as well as software to take the pain away…
I usually make panoramic photos using autostitch (http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~mbrown/autostitch/) or pixmaker.
David Hockney called his work “photocollages”.
It’s amazing what software will allow us to do these days. It increases the possibilities. A few years ago I had an idea to shoot panoramas from an airplane. Most photographers probably don’t attempt it as you’re moving at 80+mph, but I am able to get off 4-5 images panning a scene, and then stitching them together back at the studio. You can see hundreds of samples at my website
