Sierra Sunrise PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES

STEVEN BENDSON, Photographer
Panoramic Image Portfolio

These images were shot with a Noblex 175U panoramic camera.  The camera exposes the film with a rotating lens through a narrow slit with the film held in a semi-circle at the focal point of the rotating lens.  The images cover an exposure angle of 146 degrees, approximately the same as the human eye sees. The negatives are 2 1/4 by 6 3/4 in size, which is three times wider than a standard 120 film exposure.   The use of ASA 100 negative film results in extremely sharp images with minimal visible grain.  As a result, these negatives can be enlarged to very large sizes with excellent sharpness.  The most common print image sizes (in inches) are 4x13, 6x20, 8x27, 10x33, 12x40, 14x45, 16x53, 20x66, 24x80, and 29x96, 44x132, 92x316.   These images may be printed in either matte or glossy surfaces.
