Inspired #44

Working with panoramas

Hello and welcome to Inspired, a weekly email for my paid subscribers. In this series I want to explore topics which I hope might spark some inspiration for your own photography. I will talk about my thought process for creating images, both in the field and in post processing. The posts will be linked in some way to the monthly challenges, hopefully giving you all lots of food for thought.

For the final week of the aspect ratio challenge I thought I would focus on the panoramic aspect ratios and talk about when we would use them and why.

It is tempting to think that long wide aspect ratios should just be used for expansive landscapes and capturing wide views, but they can also be used as creative crops to focus in on a subjects and bring them to the viewers attention.
