A Forgotten Panorama



I've been scrolling through photos on my hard drives trying to find some interesting photos to have printed to hang on the walls in our new master bedroom. We will be moving into Adam's old room as a temporary home for us.

This move into Adam's room will provide a couple of things... First, this will give us a nice new bedroom... new bedding, new furniture, refinished furniture, new curtains, and a clean, crisp room freshly painted and trimmed. It will be much like a hotel room... just a bed, nightstands, a built-in desk and some shelves. Secondly, this move will allow us to move out of our current bedroom which will provide me with some room to work on the back end of the house finally. We've had a problem working on different areas of the house because it has been difficult finding space to work because of a serious lack of storage space. 

My plan is to hang some of my photography, framed, on the walls... highlighted with spot lighting but I must admit that I don't have much of a vision just yet when it comes to subject matter for this particular project. I still have quite a bit of work to do in this bedroom before we can move into it so I'm focused on getting this finished first. I simply cannot envision what I want hanging on these walls just yet. I'm thinking a series of landscapes would be nice... 

Anyway, while searching through photos, I came across a panorama that I shot while at the lake house a couple of years ago. I had the camera on a tripod on the dock and I shot a series of eight images for a full 180 degree panorama... looking 90 degrees to the left and then sweeping all the way to 90 degrees right. 

I don't often shoot panoramas and, even when I do, I don't usually sweep a full 180 degrees because it looks so unnatural. As a result, I was quite surprised when I stumbled upon this image above! 

As autumn is fast approaching we have been thinking of the lake house and wishing we could get back there soon. Maybe I'll choose a series of landscapes from the lake to hang in our new bedroom...
