Panoramamania, Vol. 1: Denver’s LoDo District

This post will begin a new series on my blog that will showcase panoramic photos I’ve shot. But not only that — I’ll embed a track in YouTube that I feel goes with the ambience of the photo, or was on my mind when I shot or edited it. I’m simply titling the new series Panoramamania, and I came up with the name after listening to a random Bananarama track that popped up in my iTunes. Either you’ll find that cute or odd.

Anyway, this morning’s post is a six-shot panorama that I took of Denver’s LoDo District from a bridge that goes over a rather large set of train tracks. Union Station is on the left, the RTD Light Rail station is in the left half of the photo, and the set of traffic lights you see glaring into the distance is the 16th Street Mall.

So here’s how it works:

1. Click the play button on the YouTube link below to hear audio of the track that I feel goes with the photo.

Luomo, “Tessio” (the 5-minute mark is the best part)

2. Click the photo below and you’ll see the edited shot in full resolution — a width of nearly 2500 pixels. Use your browser’s scrollbars to navigate the entire photo. The entire concept is meant to provide an audiovisual atmosphere, meshing audio and photo to create a somewhat unique perspective. Enjoy!

Volume 2 is coming tomorrow night and I’ll have a full photo gallery of Denver up once I leave here.
