A: Well, some things we love...some things we like...some things we don't like. You know how it goes. Most everyone likes different things.
I photograph panoramas for several reasons:
- I love panoramas. They are a passion with me.
- I seen them. When I look around I see panoramas...both horizontal and vertical.
- My panoramas are all composed of multiple images...so another reason is 'lots of detail'.
- My goal is to leave a photographic record for the future. Most images are composed of a subject. My panoramas not only have a subject...but also the subject setting. I think that 'setting' is very important. Panoramas allow the recording of the setting.
- Panoramas are different. I like different.
- Panoramas are not accidental...they are intentional. Photographing a panorama is a workflow in itself. Then the stitching, optimizing, titling, describing, and geotagging. This all takes time. My limit seems to be about 12 a month. Sometimes as few as none. Panoramas are not snap-shots. Panoramas have more value than snap-shots.
- I photograph panoramas because "that's who I am".
