Mareene Fischinger Creates Beautiful Panographies

Wide-angle pictures consisting of more than one photo stitched together manually are called as Panographies. They provide an impression that you would get when looking everywhere and arranging the images together in your head.

A skilled photographer from Dusseldorf, Germany, Mareen Fischinger, has developed the technique that lets you to capture a whole scene, by arranging many photos of that scene.

She does it like this: Firstly she selects something exciting to photography, then looks for the appropriate spot to shoot from and she doesn’t move from her position until the whole procedure is complete. Next she arranges the white balance manually, focus, f-stop and shutter speed of the camera so that all the photographs are exposed similarly. Then she pin points and shoots, she makes sure that she moves the camera lens so that she can cover various positions. More the shots overlap the easier it is to arrange panography.

The main secret for a great panogaphy is making sure that you have captured everything in the scene that you want, you should even cover the most uninteresting aspects, otherwise there will be something missing in your whole image, after arranging the pictures. Mareen uses software to edit images like Photoshop to alter the photos after taking the photos, and she assembles them on RGB canvas like puzzle. It may take sometime to get used to it, but it really looks fantastic at the end.

The MONA or the museum on Non-Visible Art is house for different types on invisible works of art, which can be appreciated by reading the description by the artists. I know its sounds crazy, but someone really spent $10,000 for one of such masterpieces.

I have always wondered why people spend too much money on these abstract art pieces that is similar to the work of someone who doesn’t has anything in common related to art. But after seeing so many art lovers, now I don’t wonder anymore about them and their habit of buying art pieces, at least not after hearing about the woman who paid $10,000 for an artwork that she even can’t see. Fresh Air was one of the masterpieces displayed at the Museum of Non-Visible art, it was a bizarre project supported by James Franco, an actor that attempts to take the abstract to a complete new level. You can find an official website and a video of this museum, but fundamentally the museum houses works of art, which have no existence in physical or real world, but they are just in the imagination of the artist.

When someone purchases one of these unique creations, they only get a card with a detailed description by the author who has created the artwork and a letter of accuracy. You can keep the card on an empty wall in your house or in the gallery and explain it to visitors.
