Panoramic Visions - Major New Exhibition for 2010

Its Easter weekend and that means the final push for the upcoming exhibition.  We are all getting very excited over here as you can see by invite below….

 

This show is the culmination of many years worth of dramatic landscape photography and it will also showcase new material – particularly that involving London.

For those of you planning to attend, the full details are contained in the invitational:

Panoramic Visions
15 April to 4 May 2010
 The Opus Gallery, 10-13 King Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2E 8HN
 Mon-Sat 10am - 6pm • Sun 12 - 5pm, Free Admission

Existing Limited Edition Clients should have received their invites for the opening night and there’ll be regular updates from now until the show (both here and on the Facebook page).

So, get the dates in the diary and we look forward to meeting all of you there!

A Panoramic Update!

Its been a busy month and on more than one occasion I have wanted to take comfort in the classic Homer Simpson quote  “…if something's hard to do, then it's not worth doing!”



 But, despite his literary wit, we must press on.  So in no particular order, here’s a run down:

• “Panoramic Visions” 2010 Exhibition – The big one.  I cannot emphasize enough how much work goes into a big exhibition nowadays.  Organising prints, hanging displays, guest lists etc etc. is an enormous undertaking and it’s easy to fall off the critical path towards opening night if you are not careful.  There’ll be a separate piece on this soon, so stay tuned for that.
• Open Edition Prints – Having spent over 18 months now shooting various parts of London, I’m getting happy with a new portfolio of images from this incredible city.  The aim is to compile these into smaller open edition prints; the first 20 of which will be available at the 2010 exhibition.
• New Website – There’s also the not-insubstantial issue of a brand new website in the pipeline. Amongst other things it will handle things like merchandise and hi-definition video much better than the current one so I would welcome any thoughts you have on it when it goes live in the next month or so.
• Travel Plans – Lastly, it’s easy to forget that there is a world out there waiting to be explored! To this end, there’s a trip to the volcanoes of Hawaii coming up and then the possibility of storm chasing next year.  Just can’t wait for these two…

So, lots of work to do and hopefully you’ll be seeing the fruits of this labour in person at the exhibition in April….

Panorama Interview

What better way to kick off the New Year than with a newly published interview in Panorama – the International Association of Panoramic Photographers’ (IAPP) journal of panoramic imaging.

  
 
The journal itself often contains a fascinatingly eclectic mix of articles (e.g. stitching macro panoramas, astrophotography etc.) and you can read my specific thoughts on the panoramic format in the interview.

If you’re into panoramas and/or wide-field imaging, then have a look through the website and become a member…

The Epson International Pano Awards

Further to a previous post on the new Epson International Pano Awards, please find below an updated press release and flyer.

And a hearty good luck to all those that enter!

Seasonal Newsletter and Slideshow

A quick note to all those hardy mailing list subscribers.  You should have received a seasonal greeting and a yearly round up via the email today, so please get checking those inboxes!!  There’s also a nice panoramic slideshow contained within so please drop us a mail if you’re feeling festive too.  Regular readers to the blog can sign up for future newsletters here…

International Photographic Pano Awards

 
  
If you are interested in panoramic photography then why not enter the new International Photographic Pano Awards which is open to both professional and amateur photographers?

“The inaugural 2010 International Pano Awards is dedicated to the art of panoramic photography. Advances in digital photography and software such as PTGui and Adobe Photoshop has resulted in an explosion in image stitching, especially in the panoramic format. Panoramic film photography also remains alive and well. The Pano Awards aims to showcase the work of panoramic photographers worldwide and be the largest and most important competition for panoramic photography.”

Unfortunately, I can’t offer you personal advice on your entries because I am one of the judges, but I am sure the US$10,000 in cash and prizes from Lonely Planet, Apollo, Epson, PT Gui, and 360 Precision should soften the blow!

Entries are open now and close 30th April 2010.  What are you waiting for?

Jaspal Jandu Photography on Facebook

Hello to everyone in cyberspace land – this is to inform you that there is a rather nice Jaspal Jandu Photography Facebook Page now up-and-running.

 

The page will be distinct from the blog in that it will have shorter, more real-time updates, behind-the-scenes pictures of life on the road and future event invites / updates

For those of you who like the polished pics and the more considered thoughts of the blog, then don’t fret, because the idea is to have the two ‘streams-of-consciousness’ working nicely in tandem with each other.

Wander on over to Facebook and check it out….

Jaspal Jandu @ Stanfords Book Store, London

Just to let you know that a sparkling new Jaspal Jandu promotion is now taking place at Stanfords’ flagship store in Covent Garden, London. 

 

The renowned travel and maps experts have an inspirational, large print of ‘Zen’ alongside signed copies of Natural Wonders, so if you want to come along and admire the display or pick up some books then you know what to do!

Stay tuned for further updates, pictures and Jaspal’s personal signing times….
 

Natural Wonders Update

A quick update on ‘Natural Wonders: A Panoramic Vision’.  Firstly, if you haven’t purchased a copy for you or a loved one yet, then mosey on over to the micro-site and do so now… :-)

 

Secondly - and with a degree of personal satisfaction - I am pleased to note that signed Special Edition versions are now safely in the hands of luminaries such as Bill Gates and Al Gore (my personal thanks to Alpa and Jenna respectively for making this happen).

Also, there is a new batch of freshly signed copies in the magnificent Kraken Opus store in London’s Covent Garden, so do head over if you would like a copy.  Staying in the area, I will soon be announcing a rather prominent display and in-store signing event so keep tuned to the blog for that.
 
Lastly, there are plans afoot for a brand new exhibition next April (including a sneak peak at the two new projects covering London and America West), so please start planning the trip as it would be great to meet you all in person alongside the new works!
