My Panoramas

This panorama was taken from the 40th floor of the Big Pink building, and shows a sweeping view of downtown Portland. I used a manual panorama setting on my camera to take several pictures, and then stitched them together in Photoshop. I like this photo because it showcases our city in a different perspective: from above. While I do wish some of the reflections in the glass were less pronounced, I think the image of myself reflected in the glass adds an interesting element to the photo.

This panorama is of a popular Portland location: Pioneer Place Square. Again, I used a Photoshop program to stitch several photos into one panorama. The lines in the bricks are a nice component of the photo because they bring direction, depth, and interesting warp to the photo.

This panorama was taken in my backyard and features a few of my chickens. I was drawn to this photo because it captures the movement of one of the chickens, adding an element of motion and life to the picture.

This panorama was taken from my deck and shows the small garden that lines our driveway. This photo effectively captures the mood of Portland in February: rainy, gray, but still vibrant with green life.

This photo was taken in my brother's room in its natural state. I took this picture with the intent of juxtaposing it against other panoramas of several rooms in my house, one of which is shown below. I like the color and lighting shown in this picture.

This panorama was taken in my room, and I like it because of the progression of color throughout the photo. The warm red and yellow on the left soon fades to the harsh blue in the middle which then evolves into cool green.


Bonus Waterfront Panoramas!
