If you think panoramic photography is possible only because of modern stitching software, digital cameras and wide-angle lenses - you are wrong... The first recorded panoramic photo was taken 165 years ago: in 1843. It was made with special cameras (called panoramic cameras, of course ;) and exposed with the daguerreotype technique.
This short introduction is here because I found this cool site with hundreds of old panoramas from the USA. It is the "The panoramic collection of the Library of the Congress" and it contains around four thousand panoramic photos! Here are just a few, enjoy:
PS. No new features on panoye.com this week... We are too busy preparing our wedding (next month ;)
