Interior Pano
Here is me in my live/work space. Actually this is a three exposure pano using PTGui Pro. I used Photoshop and LightRoom for this as well. I really like panos that don't look like panos. And you get some big files.

With the tools we have to work with today it's like a whole new world out there. Back in the film days I was always creating images as a hobby and professionally as well shooting jewellery using a Mamaya medium format and also a Sinar view camera. The photography was always related somehow to my graphic design work. Today I do it mostly because I enjoy working with graphic images. If you have a comment or question I'd be happy to listen.

Sony Alpha A6000 Mirorless camera

This is my latest camera. I think this is the camera that will spell the end for optical viewfinders.

Panoramas
The image above is a panorama using a Google Streetview image, of my daughter's neighbourhood in Brooklyn. Yes, it can be a bit scary but the subway, (New York's amazing transit system), is just outside her door. We took a long walk last fall along that street on the right to a fantastic restaurant that somebody told her about. Brooklyn does have these little gems but they are widely spread out throughout the city. The image consists of 4 screen grabs from Google Streetview that I prepared in Photoshop then stitched them together in PTGui Pro. One problem to deal with is the distortion from the wide angle lenses that Google use for Streetview. I have worked with Streetview images previously and have uploaded those images HERE. These are not panoramas however but single images. I have made panoramas of a few intersections in Toronto as well and have posted them HERE.

The ALPA Camera
Here is the Swiss made ALPA camera. It is really a view camera of incredible quality and very expensive. Everything is manual so this is strictly for the very serious photographer. This must be excellent for landscape photography. I would like to spend an afternoon with one of these cameras.
