Tom Sheckels  --  Photography
The eyes can only see so much when looking straight ahead, similarly, such is the case with most  camera shots; the field of view is relatively narrow.  But people tend to look around to take in an entire wonderful scene and that is what I'm recreating with my panoramic images.  It's a wider field of view but without loosing the clarity in the image.  Most of my images are made from combining a horizontal series of photos, a typical panoramic view such as Boathouse Row in Philadelphia.  Some images are vertically aligned as is this Statue of Liberty in Las Vegas, and some of the images are created by using both rows and columns of photos together as seen in Machu Picchu.  
 
Please take a look through the different galleries.  Being home based in Moorestown, New Jersey close to Philadelphia, many of my images are from the Philadelphia area.  Images include the Philadelphia skyline and cityscape looking across the Delaware River from a point near the Adventure Aquarium and the Battleship New JerseyBoathouse Row, Water Works, Art Museum, 30th Street Station and other notable Philadelphia landmarks are featured.  The Western Gallery includes images from Las Vegas and the red rock vistas of Sedona.   The South American Gallery includes images from Peru and many wildlife shots taken in the Galapagos Islands.  The images from St John, Curacao, and Puerto Rico are featured in the Caribbean Gallery.  I'll soon be adding awesome images of snow, icebergs, glaciers, and exotic wildlife such as six types of penguins, albatross, elephant seals and other wildlife from our recent expedition to Antarctica, Falkland Islands and South Georgia.
