Spring is in the (photographic) air....
Spring has sprung and there’s fresh bloom and delicate light everywhere. This moment doesn’t last long so here are some updates before its time to get out again....
- Have been over to the States twice in the last month. Each visit always confirms the huge disparity in large format landscape photography as a valid artform. Let’s just say, we have a long, long way to go in the UK...
- Shooting lots of tall buildings in London has forced me to buy a tilt-shift lens for the Canon. It’s a nice new 24mm thing and has lots of buttons and dials on it, so it must be good.
- The Linhof is seeing lots of action at the moment, partially because its so much more rewarding than anything else. However, given that we’ll all be moving to digital one day, I’ve been looking/evaluating a few medium format rigs too (the Alpa STC being my current favourite).
- Off to Santorini next week and am looking forward to getting at least one good shot at some point despite it being 26c here in the UK and only 12c in Greece.
There are realtime pics and posts on the @jjandu twitter page, so log on, sign in and drop out over there if you want the latest word on all things panoramic.

Panoramic Tips - Digital Camera Essentials
Quick one to let you know there's a 'Pro Tips' section from me in the new issue of Digital Camera Essentials. There's also a number of pages devoted to shooting, editing and printing panoramic images, so give it a whirl if you're so inclined...

Back on the road again....
Hello everyone. A busy time in the real world which has left little or no time for this crazy virtual one.
Firstly, the Panoramic Visions show closed successfully in early May and there’ll be images and chat from the show soon.
Given the popularity of the smaller, open edition London images, it’s no surprise to see they are now on permanent display/sale at the Kraken Opus gallery for those who are interested.
Lastly, immediately after the show closed I was booked on a commission piece around the UK so I have been busy exactly where a photographer should be - behind a lens rather than a computer.
It was during this shoot that I had time to re-evaluate my camera equipment. After some thought, I am in the process of trading-in and trading-out of a few pieces (Fixation is always a good place to start such proceedings for those of similar inclination). I’ll be writing a piece on my current preferred ‘panoramic’ set-up next month.
Am back in the UK now, so more updates soon…

Natural Wonders of Another Kind
Quick update. The exhibition is going fantastically well and pictures will follow as soon as we download them from the various memory cards.
Also, with all this talk of volcanic ash you would expect there to be a multitude of photographers out there taking pictures of incredible sunsets, but all we’ve had in the UK is bright blue sky and definition-less high cloud...
Still, I suppose it lets us drool over the gob-smacking new images/videos from a) Reuters and b) Nasa’s Solar Dynamics Observatory from the comfort of our monitors!

Jaspal Jandu Photography Website 2.0
Whilst I was shooting the famous karst / limestone scenery of China for Natural Wonders, I heard a great local quote which went along the lines of "...be not afraid of going slowly; be only afraid of standing still".
So, in that vein, we are very pleased to announce a major reboot of the website.
We've manged to tidy up the design and update all the background code for the modern desktop and mobile worlds. Also, there is a hell of a lot which is yet to be rolled out (such as member's area, hi-def video, new exhibition gallery etc) so stay tuned for that.
As ever, we would welcome your thoughts on the new website so please drop us an email or leave a comment if you can.
Lastly, many thanks to Nick at Coldmountain for the help and also the patience in dealing with the many - often minor - requests!
Enjoy and more to come....
