About Those Panoramas

Thank you, Dan. Nice to have those misinformation posts cleaned up

Thanks Dan, I thought what you described was probably the case. The pano sites let you zoom in as they tile it automagically for you, something a regular site can't do.

Have any of you had success selling triptychs, or panos broken up some other way into 2-5 vertical strips designed to hang one alongside the other?

I mention right in my bio information that my panos will not look that good in the thumbnails because they don't display the high resolution images to help prevent infringement, but they will be sharp when printed.

Abbie,
You are welcome. I can see how frustrating it may be to you at times. Sometimes people don't think things thru when they complain. Oh well.

Scot,
1) I have limited triptychs here. Maybe 2 or 3 among thousands. They haven't sold well for me.
2) I did what you said. I took a single frame image, broke it into 3 parts, had 3 canvases printed, and hung it with little space between components. It looks horrible. Other people viewing it are confused too. My opinion? Panos are best kept as one image and hung in long, narrow spaces like above a couch or bed.

I didn't post it as a conspiracy, pano's as mini prints look like comic strips. And many don't enlarge on pillows, and the zoom doesn't scale to the pano

but this doesn't. Its too long, the print size is 8x1.5" which is literally comic strip size.

And for whatever reason, the small ones do this to pillows

look how blurry that is. It should be super clean and sharp but its blowing up the thumbnail and not the original image.

This is why I keep pano's either short, or sell only a small limit of them. And due to them needing to print large, I don't sell a lot of them.

Yes, when posting a wide panorama on a discussion page, the dimensions are truncated. For those times, I usually add a note describing that to the viewer and to "click the pic" for full panoramic view.

I've sold a few panos via FAA but my largest was an eight foot pano "Designer" print on 02/15/2018.

96.000" x 24.500" Designer print of "S Hanover St Bridge - Pano" to a buyer from Westville, NJ.
