52 Photo Challenge: Week 49-Panorama

“The destiny of every walking man is to immerse himself in the panorama surrounding him, to the point of becoming one with it and, ultimately, to vanish”. —Federico Castigliano

This week’s assignment for the 52 photo challenge was to take a panorama shot. We were given two options—the photograph-and-stitch method or the panorama setting on your iPhone. I didn’t have the time and/or energy to learn something new this week, so I went with the easier option and used my phone.

The top image shows what normally happens when I use the iPhone panorama feature—the distorted bend and uneven spots. For the rest of these, I tried to avoid such a huge distortion. #1 is my absolute favorite and #7 was just to show you my cute Christmas decorations in my front yard.

I’m getting toward the end of this challenge and I’m ready to be done. Next week is street photography with all the examples being amazing street vendors in foreign countries. I’m not sure yet what I’ll be able to do…but I hope to end on a high note. Hope you have a wonderful week.

    • Me too, Michael. We took a drive out in the country and I stumbled upon this cemetery. I’m finding myself drawn more and more to these spaces. I wish I’d had my better camera with me because I saw a lot of peacocks.

      • I actually looked up just now as to why you might want to have a collection of peacocks and there is no real strong argument _for_ it. Plumage, okay. Exotic egg and meat market… if that floats your boat. Other than that… well, there are less noisy pest control methods, 😉

        I’m intrigued. Of course, people probably wonder why I have seven cats. Hell, *I* wonder why I have seven cats. So I won’t raise my eyebrow too high.

  4. Not being a photographer I’ve no attachment to the challenge; all I care about is result. All good, however hands up, number Seven is mine. This works at several levels. Profound, taken as a whole; there’s a poem right there to see. When much younger, now I remember one of my dreams was being in an orchard that went on forever; expand this image for all its worth and that is what I see. A very warm unexpected memory. I want to step into it.

    And sshhh, the party pig is my other favorite! Good merry Christmas.
