Panorama Photos
17th September 2022
Taking In A Wide View
I enjoy taking panorama photographs. When I look at one it’s as if I can scan the horizon from left to right or from right to left and experience an entirety of what’s in front of me. A panorama is wonderful way to capture landscapes and scenic subjects.
I have a couple of cameras that are able to automatically take panoramas. My cellphone camera also has this feature. The amount of detail that is recorded in a panorama is quite amazing. Keep in mind that the enlarged panoramas displayed here have been reduced in overall size to fit on your screen – about 1600 pixels wide. Most of these original panoramas are more than 10,000 pixels wide!
Below are a few panoramas that I’ve taken over the years.

Humorous Photos
16th September 2022
Pictures With No Other Purpose Other Than Fun
The majority of my photos are portraits, events, scenery, wildlife or commercial work for business.
Every once in a while I run across a situation that is hilarious or just plain funny. Below are from those occasions which I caught on camera.
Have you injected a little humor into your photography?

Close Ups
16th September 2022
With the naked eye, it’s often difficult or impossible to see the detail of smaller objects.
Most modern cameras and cellphones have lenses that can focus close enough to capture some of this detail.
When shooting up close I try to have good lighting, careful focus and a steady hand (or better yet a tripod) to keep the images as in focus as possible.
Below are some of the pictures that I’ve been able to photograph up close without using any special camera equipment.
Whatever type of camera that you’re using you’re probably equipped to take close ups. It not only interesting to see your subjects up close with lots of detail, it’s fun too.
