Section “Growling Swallet” Panorama by Fred Nirque
Why not just use a wide angle lens?
No wide angle lens other than a fisheye lens could capture this
wide a view and fisheyes are not sharp enough to give you this kind
of detail. This is the kind of detail that only our mind and vision can
take in. It is like being there.
The chances of you and I getting to Australia, much less to
Tasmania are slim. Even if we got there, getting from the roads
back into the deep forests are even less likely. A simple snapshot
does not represent the reality of being there. Nothing does but
being there. Still, a wide stacked panorama like this one perhaps
begins to give a sense of what that wild area is like – the reality.
