Panoramatown

I have been obsessed with making wide shots almost everywhere i go. Maybe my photos would be a bit better if i wasn't so obsessed. It's been quite the Wild Guce Chase.

However, i finally stitched them all together, and whole collection (of 40, yeah, ridiculous) has now been slapped online.

In each case i had no idea whether they would work, and most didn't. Some at least worked well enough, so at the conclusion of this latest epic journey, epic of course for its shortness, panoramas are here. (They may well look shit and pointless but they tend to reveal themselves when clicked.)
