Pano Week Wrap Up

 And so we bring TSG's first-ever 7 day pantheon of panorama pics to a close. Some of the examples didn't turn out quite the way we hoped, but overall the results were pretty good. Time will tell if we decide to revisit a week-long single-format series of posts...one never knows what in the wide wide world of images might go on here.

Pre- (pre-) Smartphone Panos

Spotted while browsing the wares at Sutter Creek's Old Hotel Antiques, a couple of vintage (c. 1910) panoramas from the Isle of Wight. As unique as they were, at $10 each they were too expensive (and the images too faded*) to be considered for the TSG vintage paper collection, so we settled for some pix.
 
*the posted images were retouched to the best of our ability,
 but we were hampered by having to take photos
 of the cards in their protective sleeves.
