Inspired by Volker's excellent panoramic shots, and Ed's addition to the thread, I think we should all display our favourite Pano format shots.

The only requirement is that they were shot using a Panoramic format camera - so no post-exposure crops from non-pano negs please ..

here are a few I've taken using my horizon 202. I dont use the camera as much as I should because 35mm film is bloody expensive these days and it's a pernickety devil of a camera that often just decides to stick mid-exposure - I hate that ....

Surely it's the image that counts? Not the gear?

Those are fantastic images Leon!! I sure wish I had a pano camera so I could contribute. I'll get one one of these days.

I've got loads of APS negs taken in pano mode but the negs are full frame (as they always are with APS). Are they allowed?

What constitutes a panoramic camera? Is it defined by format? If so, at what point does it become a panoramic format? 2x1? 3x1?

I think the rules of this thread really need to be clarified so that we don't fall foul of the thread monitors.

Great shots Leon! And I can relate very well to that feeling. I have a camera where the shutter button gets stuck sometimes. It really doesn't help when you know your gear could stop working at any time :/

Some high quality panos posted in this thread !

Mine was taken with the Gakken Stereo Pinhole using the pano format setting on the camera.

Great shots everyone - keep them coming.

Those are fabulous Leon. You should take that camera out for a spin more often! (I've never heard of that camera either).

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #17 on:** January 22, 2011, 01:02:58 AM »

I think a sensible end to the discussion about why not to post crops would be to say, please include in this thread images which were composed through a panoramic viewfinder.

It's late and I'm tired. Does the first bit make any sense?

In the meantime, here's another one from me (also take with an Horizon 202) of Jacqui having her first meal in hospital after giving birth to our first child, Amy (now aged 5 and to be seen sulking in this weekend's thread). Amy's on the left of the picture in a plastic presentation case

Horizon 202

Info Red · « **Reply #22 on:** January 22, 2011, 08:21:33 PM »

One taken with a Holga 120 Pinhole Pano. I took the doll head to a local sculpture park and placed it rather unceremoniously on a 1987 sculpture titled "St. Louie Bones", by Robert Stackhouse.

The title of the photograph is "Foster Child of Silence and Slow Time". That line comes from John Keats' poem, "Ode on a Grecian Urn"

gothamtomato · « **Reply #23 on:** January 23, 2011, 03:22:40 AM »

I have to say this thread is making me want a pano camera!

BTW, can you use filters on a pano (so that you could use infrared film)??

Terry · « **Reply #24 on:** January 23, 2011, 05:23:25 PM »

In the interest of clearing out the shelves, I've decided to give away my Horizon panoramic camera. Full disclosure: the one time I tried to run a roll through it, the film folded back on itself and made a right mess inside. Maybe I threaded incorrectly? Or maybe it needs work. Hence the selling price: free to the first bidder.

By amazing coincidence, I've just finished scanning a roll from my Horizon 202. Was going to post to the weekend thread but they may as well go here instead. This roll of film had been in the camera for well over a year!

Just to create more controversy, there's a vertical composition... is that still a panorama?!

Francois · « **Reply #30 on:** January 23, 2011, 10:42:31 PM »

Well, vertical or not, it still is a panorama.

One trick I've already seen in a book that works only with swing lens cameras is that you put the camera vertical and low with the lens on top. Step in the frame and start the mechanism. once you're about 1/2 to 2/3 exposed, you jump over the camera to get out of the field of view. And you get a very gratuitous effect with missing blurred legs...

Nigel · « **Reply #31 on:** January 24, 2011, 08:21:30 AM »

Al - they're great, I really like the vertical one.

Paul H · « **Reply #32 on:** January 24, 2011, 09:59:35 AM »

Shot on a converted Kodak 2C Autographic - converted from 130 to 120. I had some spool spacers (for supply side) and a special take-up spool made, and added some (removable) film rails to give an image of approx 50 x 125mm. That should qualify for panoramic format

I made a mask and put a little red window in the Autographic door to read the 645 frame numbers.

Framing is sort of guesstimate plus finder for general direction.

some excellent examples - and ed, that captures the idea well: pics composed for a panoramic format.
Here's one of my vertical efforts:

I like messing around with vertical compositions on the Horizon 202. Here's one from the the Kailua-Kona/Hilo road in Hawaii, shot back in 2004:

2 more from 2004. Broke these old scans out for an airing as a result of this thread. Shot at the Tate Modern in London during the Weather Project exhibition in 2004. I think the first image must have had a lot of black at each end because I seem to have cropped it a bit.

OK, I suppose its about time I showed you some of my panos seeing my Xpan accounts for about 50% of my shooting (though not all in the pano format - I do use the standard frame ratio on my Xpan a fair amount of the time). Apologies to FWs who are also members of APUG, who may have seen one or two of these before. Hope you like:

Panoramic landscape photography is my "day job", and all my work is featured in our own gallery (hell, someone has to do it!!).

The following images were captured wit a Linhof 617 using Fuji Provia F.
