A Panoroïd photo just for fun.

In the post from the 17th july, you already saw two panoroïds made after the poster of the magazine Photo celebrating their 500 covers. In fact I have realised about 10 interesting images that give an idea of the diversity my technic can produce.

In the 70 on the French TV,  there was little programmes of several minutes between the major programs that where called "Interlude". Their fonction was to offer either little games or present images of a region. They were not commercial neither advertisement.

So I decided between the posts to introduce some of the panoroïds I have created and give a special comment on them to allow a better understanding of my technic. Even if the images are covered by copyright, these images are not yet planned to be included in my commercial catalog, they are not for sale.

Photo Magazine Special poster with 500 covers. 3rd panoroïd presented.

The objective of this image is to present simultaneously a close view and a global view. This image is not perfect in the middle at the level of the 3rd raw of covers there is a visible distorsion, the same is repeated at the 5th raw. These imperfections could be improved with more trainning. But this is not the most important. Having been able just to frame the photo, kept an acceptable balance in the parallelism of the raws, and have the letters readable is already interesting. With a reflex camera such a photo is not possible to produce in one single shot. Here the laws of the standard field depth are changed. I recall that with digital cameras the parameters are set at minimal levels when the panoramic mode is used. So here no use of trepoid, no field depth control with a high figure, etc...

The idea is to have fun in applying the panoramic photo to fields where it is not expected to be used and see what can be done.

My catalog of self-edited booklet

My booklets allow you to understand how I generally work. I consider myself as a craftsman and to work on a subject I have to respect a certain methodology that requires to learn how my subject is built and will allow me afterwards to look for really innovative images. As I am quite high in my standards,  its happens that sometimes I have to work several days on an idea of a photo because when I am shooting it I am not able to see correctly the details on the back screen of my digital camera. So it is only in the evening, back home that I can test the impact of the photo on my 20"computer screen.

When I begin the photos I have generally no idea of what I will get, sometimes I am attracted by an aspect I have not studied yet. I am pleased when I reach a state of understanding of the subject that allows me to shoot instinctively, almost in « transe ». It also happens that I need several days to reach what I was expecting. I want to be surprised or « stoned » by the image , then it is pure magic.

For all these reasons I decided to present my work through single photos and booklets when the subject is adapted. The latter have the advantage to be used as a catalog if someone wants to order a photo not immediately available. The panoroïde catalog for 2013 contains about 300 photos and 20 booklets. Each booklet will be presented in the present blog. The booklets generally contain 15 or 20 images, they are laser printed on a 160gr white paper, cover and back page are of plastic for the small standard reference size : 14,85 x 21 cm, half A4 or A5, 5,85 x 8,27 inches.

      

The content of the booklet is the following : a cover page, a presentation and a summary of the photos  page and one page per photo. The booklet is written in French, the English translation of the texts will be presented in the present blog in the posts presenting the corresponding volumes.

Presently the booklets are written in French, and their size is 14,85 x 21 cm, European A5 size (half A4) or 5"85 x 8"27. The small texts will have their translation edited in the present blog in their corresponding future post. 

The booklets can be ordered in a bigger size, 21 x 29,70 cm, A4 format, or 29,70 x 42 cm, A3 format, but presented unbound containing individual plates. In these publication the photos are reproduced as laser copies on a 160gr white paper. The cover and back page are made of transparent plastic.
