Panoramic Photography by Brad Templeton

I shoot a lot of photographs, but my favourite type of shot is the stitched panoramic shot. These are made by taking a series of overlapping shots and using special software to join and blend them together seamlessly. You can shoot anything from high-res non-distorted wide-angle shots to full 360 degree wrap arounds.

Grand Canyon North Rim (3359 x 600 - 288K)	Full size is 1339 x 7496. (7" x 3' 1" [$25] at 200DPI) (See Full-Rez Slice)

While most people shoot these to show in VR plugins that let you move around in the scene, I shoot them to be viewed all at once, ideally in high-res output on paper. I frame them 3, 4 or 6 feet long and put them on my walls. They provide a way to see all of a scene, sometimes more in one photo than the human eye can grasp at once.

I'm pleased that some have liked some of my work enough to even buy them, graduating me from amateur to small-time pro. I've collected the best of my shots below.

In a few cases, I have "rest of" pages with lesser panoramas that are not of professional quality but still interesting.

See the top of page for links to the various panorama pages and other pages. For completness, other, older panoramas of more amateur quality are also available for viewing.

• Essay on Panoramics.
• The Equipment and software used to make these photos.
• Panorama Head design notes and reviews.
• How to Get your own copies of these photos plus advice on framing panoramics photos.
• My Photo Pages with links to more normal shots and my photo essays.
• My Home Page.
• Explaining the links on the pictures and the image viewer.

Note: The pictures, even though scaled down to 600 pixels in height, are still very large. I use high end equipment to get the best resolution, and they are meant to be appreciated that way. My image viewer will reduce them for you if you like but it will be a bit slow.
