Why You Should Use Panoramic Picture Frames
If scenic landscape pictures are something you love, then you probably love panoramic pictures. Panoramic pictures have grown in popularity with the increasing use of panoramic format cameras and the popularity of digital photography. If you're unfamiliar with panoramic pictures, now is the time to start learning why they're so popular and how they can add a new look to your home decorating.
Why are panoramic picture frames so popular among photography enthusiasts?
- They're a unique way to capture tall landscapes and breathtaking vistas. Now you can take a full picture of the Eiffel tower or the Statue of Liberty or capture an entire cityscape.
- Their non-standard shape offers an artistic touch to your picture wall. A panoramic picture frame adds a unique dimension to your photo display whether it's displayed by itself or in a group.
- They are less expensive than having to buy a larger picture frame with a mat to fit the panoramic photo size. Now with panoramic frames widely available you can find exactly what you want without the big expense of having a custom frame made.
Panoramic Picture Basics
There are a three primary ways to take panoramic pictures: a camera using APS film, a digital camera with a panoramic setting or to digitally “stitch” together multiple pictures into a panoramic photo.
Originally, panoramic pictures first became popular with film cameras using Advanced Photo System (APS) film. These cameras took panoramic photos in specific panoramic sizes which are still popular today. These days with digital cameras and the software for photo "stitching" there are really no restrictions to the size of your panoramic photo. Now the limit for panoramic photos comes to framing your picture. The options for framing your panoramic photos are limited to three common sizes of ready made panoramic picture frames. Those sizes are 3.5x10, 4x10 and 4x12. Ready made frames are most popular because they're significantly less expensive than custom picture frames.
Ready made panoramic frame styles are usually simple with clean lines and are available in either metal or wood frames. Wood panoramic frames seem to be more popular because they are available in many stained colors and can highlight the tones in your picture beautifully. The choice of colors and the classic simple style of panoramic frames will complement almost any home or office decor and will add a new dimension to your photo displays.
Even though the popularity of APS film is decreasing, that doesn't mean panoramic photos are going away. With the immense popularity of digital photography, panoramic pictures and panoramic frames will be around for a long time. So keep taking those beautiful panoramic views and have fun creating a unique look with your panoramic frames.
