What Is Panoramic Images?

An image showing a field of view approximating, or greater than, that of the human eye – about 160° by 75° – may be termed panoramic. This 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 resulting images take the form of a wide strip.

Joiner photography is a fairly new technique of photography. A joiner, designed by Hockney is when the artist assembles an image from several overlapping photographs. David Hockney is the most notable artist that uses this technique, hence the common referral of joiners as “Hockney’s”
