A quick search for Panorama in Wiki yileds a lot of variety of results everything from Cylindrical panorama to 360 degree panorama etc.
Panoramas are one of the favorite subjects of any Landscape photographer and am no exception for it.
There are variety of ways in which a Panoramic image can be presented or made in the field of landscape photography, and one of the common one is the one which involves stiching of multiple images and presenting it as a single frame. This involves a lot of meticulous planning and execution. Personally am a huge fan of this type of Panoramic photography. One another very widely used way is presenting the image in a 16:9 image format.
My recent searches on internet revealed a lot of unique cameras which presented images in a panoramic way. Off late I had been trying to simulate image to represent the same way in which these cameras present the panoramic image and am pretty pleased with out come and also the possibility of presentation of landscape images.
Below are 3 examples of 6×17, 16:9 and a multiimage stiched panoramic images i made during a recent visit to Gopalswamybetta near Mysore.

On another note I will be going for print of the above stitched panoramic image shortly just in lines with the Golden Triangles print. So interested people are more than just welcome to come over to my home and have a look at it.

There is no shortage of “beautiful” images of nature today. How many of them portray the hidden stories of nature ? Nature photographers can make much better images if they know hidden stories of nature. Often this is not the case. On the otherhand field biologists and naturalists have this immense knowledge of nature. Nature Stories (NTN in short for naturetales.net) is a unique platform for bringing together both nature photographers and field biologists to share vivid and facinating stories of mother nature.

Couple of quick postcards from my yesterday’s visit to Gopalaswamy Betta near Mysore. Had fun time experimenting with making images keeping in mind the end result of presentation – something which am trying to work on off late using my images. One of the things was the 6×17 panoramic presentation using a conventional camera. I did also tried my hands on Timelapse photography using some “basic” equipment – just to prove myself that things are possible with out having to shell out too much on fancy stuff. The weather was really very pleasant but reaching the place a bit late and also fact that there were hundreds/thousands of people who had come to visit the shrine meant that i couldnt spent much time hunting for the misty temple image which I had in mind. As i write this blog post on other side the TL video and a follow up blog is also getting ready.
Hoping everyone is having a nice funfilled peaceful weekend.
Seeing the world in Black and White is such a challenge all together. But once we have a color image with us, the process of converting it to Black and White to convey the right mood and message is even more a challenging task.
In a need to address that task, I came up with a small eBook illustrating a very simple and easy Photoshop technique of converting an image into Black and White having maximum control on the tonality of the over all image.
