A slick soccer complex built by a company that builds stadiums, fields, and facilities like this from coast to coast.  A field is difficult to photograph- it’s large, and difficult to make an image with a natural flow and center of interest.  I thought a panoramic approach best suits the subject matter.  

A classic 100+ year-old building from when Buffalo was a thriving and growing metropolis not far behind New York and Chicago in size and significance.  The building has lots of wrought iron, a large sky-lit atrium, intricate tile work- it just oozes class and style.  It was used in a Robert Redford movie “The Natural”  as a hotel ballroom and continues to be used for political functions and other important events.

An old-fashioned film panoramic image, done on a Noblex camera. It has a rotating drum with the lens is mounted in it, and it’s rotation speed determines the effective shutter speed, and you set the aperture manually.  No auto or program mode whatsoever.  And it’s a real actual image taken in one single instant. These days of course, I would take multiple digital images, stitch and edit them into a final image.  But that is not one isolated moment and the slight movement of the boats would make that process very complicated.
