I LOVE this channel, Nick. Your videos are always a treat to watch. Regarding the point about symmetry, I'd say that the panoramas are actually more symmetric than their cropped counterparts. The backgrounds of the panoramas are more balanced. At 9:20, the two prominent trees on the sides are almost the same distance from the store and of the same height. At 9:33, the grass, cacti, mountains, and sky feel equally weighted on the left and right. At 9:50, the trees on the left are balanced by the poles on the right. When the photos are cropped, the asymmetry stands out more, and you lose the balance. At 9:02, the silhouette of the tree on the left is not balanced by anything on the right. At 9:26, the mountain and the cacti are more heavily weighted to the right. At 9:45, the poles on the right that would have balanced the trees on the left are cropped out, so it feels less symmetric.

A great way to implement this on digital is with tilt-shift lenses. Three shifted shots stitched together gives me a ~70mpx image that has given me some of my favorite shots in the past two years. It just requires a little more visualization since you cant see the overall image until you process it.

I use either a shift lens or a gigapan motorised head; visualisation is critical. For the gigapan, you need to shoot for the resolution you want at the edges - the perspective projection will stretch the edges a lot!

Having gone to cal poly slo for journalism i find the Ksby image to be fascinating. I love how the billboard screams commercialization and an inherent need to be connected at all times which contrasts daily life in slo so much. Slo really is a bubble and it’s pretty out of isolated. So it’s hard to remember it’s even part of California sometimes, which makes this billboard perfectly ironic.

I have a humble suggestion, if I may: I'd watch the heck out of you giving a breakdown (both artistic and technical) of your images. My favorite image out of all your work I've seen is the cactus-scape at 3:00 and I always wonder about the mental and technical aspects behind such a superb image. The cactus image at 9:31 also looks like a great image for commentary because I can only imagine the process of getting both the foreground and background in focus on such a large format. Cheers and thanks for helping me and many others start of the weekend right!

This was suggested to me by KZitem. My preferred equipment at present is a Lumix S1R and Canon TS-E lenses.It's less flexible than a view camera, but it seems to be getting a bit heavy lately. I can stitch to get a wider view and the multiple images are coplanar so don't get that distortion. There are videos on straightening stitchups too, one I did looks a bit strange because I was too close. I saw someone complain about distortion with a 10mm ultrawide prime on 25mm, but in truth he too was too close. I have a 14-28 on my S1R, and a 7-14 for Lumix G9. The 14-28 has a flat face, if I want I can put filters on it, easily. My TS-E 17 and 7-14 are pregnant, I have to work around that bulge.

It‘s not only a great video in itself, condensing your knowledge on the topic. It‘s a great way to revisit all your excellent on location videos. To me this 3:1/6:17/24:65 aspect ratio is so appealing because it makes you read and discover a picture. Unlike more compact ratios I can’t see these pictures as a whole.

14 minutes, the big tree, amazing shot! I've tried to fit the height in on similar circumstances - you backed up and it didn't work as well. I tested out taking a second panorama of a scene, higher up and joining the 2 panos as a top and bottom, showing the whole size of the massive object - still don't work as well as leaving it chopped off into the unknowing! I found it to be like yours, the confinement was what did it, your head can imagine the tree far bigger. I didn't know the words for it, now I can consider it properly in future, so thanks!

Alright Nick, you've convinced me. My next camera purchase WILL be a 6x17, for which Angus Noble of Noble cameras will no doubt be relieved as he has been pestering me for a while to purchase one of his fine cameras. However, I am concerned about one thing... Which is the height of your quiff that is about to escape the confinement of my monitor. This could result in me purchasing a computer monitor with movements. As you are no doubt aware, this may be expensive, so I am relying on you to mitigate the costs...😉

Such a great series on one of my favorite style of shot. I really hope that some day I can afford to get a 6x17 setup in some form. I am just working with digital and stitching and have so many panos that I throw out because of the distortion or stitching errors that just cause them to not turn out how I wanted and could have gotten with a singular pano image. Panoramics and verticals are my two preferred compositional styles for the same reasons in their opposite ways. Panos, you get the wide expanse and vertical confinement and feels very natural to me and how I feel like I view scenes whereas verticals are the exact opposite. Both can use negative space super well, both can give amazing senses of isolation and both feel "special" to me. I too have grown tired of big foreground images though I still take some and have some I like, I am more into the middle and background of a scene or just getting a more specific, detail oriented shots. I shoot plenty of standard horizontals still but find myself being a bit bored of them.
