Sometimes my widest lens just isn’t wide enough to capture the scene in front of me in all its glory. Here, Panoramas and Vertoramas are a helpful technique I can use to extend the field of view my camera can capture. Both techniques require taking multiple photos while either rotating the camera horizontally, vertically or[…]
Cityscape Photography in Chicago
17. August 2019 | Cityscape Photography
It’s been nearly twenty years since my first trip to the USA. Back then I visited Chicago for a few days, long before I started with photography. That’s kind of a shame, because Chicago is such a photogenic place. So, as work required me to travel to Detroit for 10 days last month, I instantly[…]
