The topic for this critique was “extended seeing”. To achieve that, I had a combination of panoramic and double exposure photos. All of my photos were taken on an iPhone 5s under iOS 8.0.2. For the panoramic photos, I used the iPhone’s panoramic setting built into the phone. For the slow shutter/ double exposure photos, I used an app called “Top Camera”.

I wanted to take a pano that was different than the typical, landscape, even-horizon view. I also took it during sunrise, but didn’t want to create a typical, cliché sunrise photo.
Within some of my panoramic shots, I varied the speed at which I moved the camera, to create a choppy and abstract effect to the photo. The faster I moved the camera, the more broken up the
For all of my photos, I used an app called VSCOcam for the editing. I went with a softer and dulled-down tone in the majority of my set. I adjust the exposure, tone, and saturation.
