Panoramas
Panoramas are one of my favourite photographic practices. They fall more naturally to the eye's view of things than any other format, and so to me represent photography at its trueist.

All my panoramas have been created by the electronic fusion of two or more images.

Some have asked why I don't use a dedicated panoramic camera. There are at least three reasons why not - cost of equipment, film and processing; format, the way I do it, I have full control of the aspect ratio of my photos (although I tend towards the 3:1 ratio); and finally fun because I simply like doing it this way.

Panoramic shots, due to their shape and size, look much better when viewed as an enlargement.

 

Machair Beach, Islay

The Machair beach with snow. Viewed from Kintra, just south of the airport, this beach is the longest stretch of sand on the island, and is backed by beautiful sand dunes, the "Traigh a Mhachaire".
