I started photographing Münsterland Landscape with
a large formate camera with film in 1994. I used this technique until 2010.
Some results are shown in Münsterland analogue.
From 2009 I used digital stitching (or panorama) technique to create images of high resolution. A first series of these digital panoramas was presented in the site "Münsterland digital" in 2013. Now (in 2016) I mixed several new panoramas in this site. The new panos are from the years 2013 - 2016. |

| To
shoot this series of digital panoramas I visited almost the same locations as I
did for my large-formate photographes . But I recognized soon, that the new
technology influenced my style of photographing. So these photographs combine a new technique with my new personal view on the Münsterland landscape. |

Sometimes the
panoramas of landscapes can have the qualitiy of close-up photographs as
well. The details appear to be endlessly sharp. Normally you can see this
only on really large prints. However, here you can zoom into
the image until every single panicle is large and sharp. Edge of a meadow near Greven, June (2010-06-24-D3x-022ff) Single-row panorama stitched of 6 images AF-Nikkor 70-210 1:4-5,6 at 180 mm, 0.4 sec, f 32 |
