One of the cameras I use occasionally is the
Olympus Mju II Zoom. The vintage (fancy name of old crab) point and shoot camera.
On that day after shooting a couple of photos, I suddenly noticed that something looks rather different in the viewfinder. The scene appears to be horizontally stretched. Then, I realised that nothing was actually stretched, just the panorama shooting mode was accidentally turned on.
It's not the panorama shooting as you would do with a modern digital camera - stand still and rotate your camera. What it does is simply to block the portions of top and bottom of the frame to create a panoramic viewport. I had never used that setting before, so I thought it would be fun to try.
The above film is the one used on the day, the thinner strip of images. It's easy to see the difference when you compare it to the bottom one. So, here we go. The panoramic view of Centennial Park in Sydney.
Thanks for visiting.
