We specialize in is panoramic shootings with a very low level of distortion. Our goal is to obtain images with a perpective as more possible near to the one of the human eye.

 

We use the linear stitch technique with special expedients that, almost always, allow us to challenge those laws of physics and optics, which would normally cause unacceptable distortions. Our goal is is to obtain images with a perpective as more possible natural, similar to the one given by a normal lens. Technical quality and more important the capability to describe any smaller detail can be appreciated looking at the hi-res images here below. The resolving power of this files allows ink-jet or Lambda prints at the larger size today available for quality print. This prints are so sharp that you can look at them very closely, like looking a small print.

Use the blue bar under the image window to appreciate the incredible angle of field and, in the same time, natural perspective and correctness of lines.

Doppelmayr - Garaventa. Alpe di Siusi. Ropeway Toè - Paradiso.
Pano images similar to this one seems to be easily obtainable with any digital compact camera. The big difference is not only in the precision of perspective but also in the incredible amount of details. You can see the datails of any single skier.

Verona. Panorama of Borgo Trento with some liberty style building and the Sanctuary of "Madonna di Lourdes".
We work shooting several imagies rotating a pano plate, using the longer lens possible. Linear stitching generates some mistakes in blending images. This mistakes are in general not important and can be corrected in post production retouching. What is important however is that any single building or part of the image has a very natural perspective, very similar to the one of the human eye.

Sunset at Rimini beach.
The availabilty of a compact camera allowed me to capture this wonderful light and colors at dusk. File quality is of course lower of the previous one, but anyway excellent, able to produce a quality print. Also the documenting capability is very good.

Stagnone salt pond, near Marsala, Sicily.
The elevation allowed us to separate the planes of the slandscape in this extraordinary situation
