RE: [pinhole-discussion] Panorama characteristics?
I'm going to guess that my answer would be that it is a combination of the angle of view and a format that is wider than a normally wide format (I would guess that the typical 2X3 aspect of 35mm film would be condidered wide). Indeed, you could halve a sheet of 4X5, but if the result was a slit containing a portion of a person's face then I wouldn't consider that a panoramic image (although I could certainly see an argument for it). On a somewhat related comment, you can view my panoramics within the first link in my signature by going to Projects then Ballparks.

Hi, sorry to have to ask but I was wondering what exactly qualifies a camerabras being panoramic? Is it the angle of view, the length of the negative, orbra combination of the two? I have been toying with making a curved backedbrpanoramic camera but was wondering if I could just use a portion of abrsmaller negative or even mask off half of a 4x5 piece of film and make 2 2x5brnegatives from a single sheet. Any advice would be most appreciated.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Panorama characteristics?
The original definition of a panoramic camera was one that rotated to take in the entire surrounding scene, probably with synchronized moving film. (see http://dictionary.oed.com/cgi/entry/ 00170451?query_type=wordqueryword=panoramaedition=2efirst=1max_to_sh ow=10single=1sort_type=alpha) So I guess any flat or concave curved film plane would just be extremely wide angle no matter what it's shape, but I guess a convex curved film plane multiple pinhole camera like Chris Peregoy's, Pinhole Blender, or an assemblage like Quicktime VR would qualify. Gee, language is almost as much fun as pinhole photography.

I'm sure that some one will let us know. I do know that a 6x9 image not a panorama, but a 6x12 is. My guess is that the width has to at least double he hight of the image.
