What is panoramic photography?

Panoramic photography is a technique used in photography, using equipment that captures images with horizontally widened fields of view. Also know as wide format photography. The term has also been applied to a photograph that is cropped to a relatively wide aspect ratio.

However there is no actual division between wide angle and panoramic photography, wide-angle normally refers to a type of lens, but using this lens doesn’t always create a panorama. A panoramic view generally means it has an aspect ratio of 2:1 or larger, the image being at least twice as wide as it is high. The final images usually take the form of a wide strip. Some panoramic images have aspect ratios of 4:1 and sometimes 10:1, covering fields of view of up to 360 degrees. Both the aspect ratio and coverage of field are important factors in defining a true panoramic image.

When creating this image I joined multiple image together to create one image.

These where the images that I used.

Romanticism refers to a new mindset and way of feeling which came about in Europe at the end of the 18th century in the work of artists, poets and philosophers. the idea soon spread allover the world and changed how people look at nature, children, love and work.  The romantic movement was a reaction or rebellion against the industrial revolution when people started to feel that emotion was being taken away from the arts. this idea translated into art via the use of nature, artists would paint great landscape scenes which would often include people or animals in the distance helping to emphasis the greatness of nature. Translates into photography romanticism is shown in natural landscapes which look huge or continuous and show the greatness of nature, aimed to spark emotion in the viewer

Best Images from the shoot

Romanticism - was an artistic, literary, musical and intellectual movement that originated in Europe toward the end of the 18th century, and in most areas was at its peak in the approximate period from 1800 to 1850.

In photography, a romantic landscape's purpose is to evoke strong feelings of mainly aw and rapture. The aim is capturing an image that celebrates nature and or shows strong feelings and emotions through weather and landscape that convey exaggerated beauty and power.

Photoshoot - my response to Romanticism didn't go to plan. I tried to take sea landscapes with a slow shutter speed without a tripod which led to my images to be shaky and blurry combined with the natural light getting darker and darker which also led to my photos being under or over exposed. Personally I don't like the aesthetic of Romanticism which didn't help for me to be inspired by any particular artist or photograph. 



However, with the blurred images I had, I managed to create a response to the photographer Idris Khan who layers on photographs to get the desired effect of an out of focus image that almost looks like a pencil sketch. 

Idris Khan 

With the few pictures I managed to salvage a fairly okay image in response to Idris Khan of the oil tower. I used Photoshop to layer on the different photographs and reduce the opacity so each image was visible in one photograph. I then edited it to black and white like Khan's work.

What is urban landscape?

The word urban refers to a city or a town. When we combine them, urban landscape refers to images that capture scenes within a city or town that can be vast. For example; a cityscape or shot of the city from above the city.
