This week at ImprovePhotography.com – the Weekly Photo Duel challenge was Panoramas. Panoramas can be a lot of fun when you have something interesting to photograph. From Macros to Majestic Landscapes… Panoramas really help tell the whole story.
I wanted to do vertical panoramas to help with the story I wanted to tell. So I went to downtown Boise to capture some of the urban city life around sunset. The biggest challenge with doing a vertical panorama in a downtown area like this is the lens distortion became a bit much. By the time the pano was done stitching together some of the buildings had a nice curve to it. Haha!
Tell me what you think in the comments below – I’ll respond to you.
This is my photo duel entry:
Head on over to improvephotography.com to see Jim’s photo and to cast your vote.
The Idaho State Capitol in Boise, Idaho.
This was another fun pano that I think turned out pretty good of the State Capitol – It’s really long but I like the perspective it gives. It’s different.
As always, you both have done a wonderful job with the challenge. I really like both of these photos a lot. I’m mostly a landscape guy but due to reading your posts and following both of you on Improve, I have learned a lot to help me with discovering new (to me) photography and tons of important techniques. Thanks to both of you for your continued sharing. PS….I’m voting for you this week…..absolutely beautiful work!

Thanks for your vote, Scott! I know my panorama isn’t considered a traditional one – but I really wanted to do something different and unique to stand out. Keep trying new things – you’ll be surprised how even your landscape photography will improve! 🙂
Hi Dustin, i really like how you have flipped the panorama on its head (well on it’s side)….
I love how the images came out and was really quite original.
Thanks for the comment, Mike! I agree and think that vertical panoramas introduce a creative way of looking at things. 🙂
