photographer writes book!

After contributing photographs to more than 33 travel books over the past 25 years, I have now WRITTEN my first book: It includes some of my

own images, and many other stunning pans shot by top-class panoramicists from around the world.

An inspirational guide to panoramic photography, using everything from simple 35mm cameras through more specialised medium- and large-format cameras, right up to the 360-degree digital panoramas created using stitching programmes.

PLEASE NOTE that these images from the book are not all by Nick Meers, but are ALL copyrighted by their owners: Please respect that photographers earn their living by selling imagery, and do not take kindly to having their work STOLEN. Indeed there is a law to protect copyright theft: Respect, please

Stretch covers compositional issues (finding subjects that fit the shape and making the most of them), technical considerations (exposure measurement, avoiding flare, etc), and the various types of equipment that can be used. Much of the book is practical, but it is also illustrated with a plethora of stunning panoramic pictures.

It opens with a gallery of images, and there are insightful interviews with a selection of panoramic photographers, discussing their approach and equipment. Stretch has a fun, modern look and will be a must-have book for anyone with an interest in panoramic photography.
