With wide landscapes like these, to rival any in Ireland, Wicklow makes the perfect place to try panoramic image photography.
For me, my interest in panoramic photography really began after I bought a Mamiya 7ii medium format rangefinder camera. For the uninitiated, a rangefinder camera doesn't use an internal mirror for composition and focus, this is a manual camera and what you see through the viewfinder is a rough approximation of what will be exposed on the film. It is a medium format camera, taking roll film and exposing an image of 6cm x 7cm (known as a 6x7). With this camera I bought a 35mm adapter kit that allowed the use of standard slide film exposing a double-width image hence giving a panoramic image.
