Last Summer I went to the Getty Museum in L.A.for the Walker Evans

show. I noticed a panorama, don't recall who did it but it was a

picture of a town. On the left it looked from the shadows that the

exposure was made in the afternoon. On the right the shadows looked

as if it was taken in the morning. The center the shadows were

straight on. I looked at this for quite a while and I could not see

any curved lines. The shadows were long and most that looked the most

obvious were of telegraph poles. I too wondered how this was done.

Has anyone else seen this panorama?

I know this thread is a little dated, but have to write about my

expirience at SFMOMA. I went specificaly to see the "Adams at 100"

show, being an Adams fan I found it enjoyable, but have to admitt

that I was a little disapointed in the show. However I was totally

unprepared for Sternfeld. From one who is not easily impressed these

prints are absolutely stunning. To see this collection of large

prints is an expirience that I can not get out of my mind, one of the

best exhibits that I have seen. Anyone out there been to the show?

I Looking for some suggestions on how some of you would demonstrate a large format camera to a class of college age students, most having little or no interest in photography. If I decide to do this, I know there will be questions on, why bother to use such a camera? How would some of you answer that?

One thing I was thinking, is to bring in a polaroid back and take some pictures of some of the students, or show how to focus and let some of them take pictures of each other. Since I don't have any lighting, the classroom is bright, has typical fluorescent lights, would you suggest b+w or color poloroid? I am using a Omegaview with a kodak 203 7.7. If I would be better off using a different lens, suggest one and I could rent it.

I was also thinking of taking a 35mm print and a 4X5 print in B+W and comparing the two. What film and what size would the prints have to be for someone who does not know what they are looking at to notice the difference? Do any of you think that I should use a fast film to show more grain?

Thank you for any suggestions.
