Shoes and sky

This is what you might call a long shot. It starts with my shoes and winds up in the sky.

I was using the motion panorama feature on my Fuji X-E1 for the first time, and discovered you can create a vertical panorama, consisting of several photos stitched together.

I was standing in a clearing in woods close to Barnet, in the far reaches of north London. Tomorrow, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre will perform Henry VI in this clearing, near to a battle in the Wars of the Roses, fought in 1471.

If you can’t make it, it’s being streamed free and live on The Space arts website – now there’s a great tip.

      One of those happy accidents. I’m sure there are other experiments to be done.

Great effect Mike….I wonder what this effect would be like if applied to shooting on top of a tall building with feet on the edge…scary!

  I wonder… but don’t think I’m prepared to give it a whirl, James :-)

    I know what you mean, there is experimenting and then there is going a bit too far…
