Here, in words and images, writer and photographer Will Landon of Bellevue, Washington, paints an all-encompassing, yet very personal portrait of Mount Rainier National Park in Washington State. Sweeping panoramas of up to 360 degrees, counterpointed by close-ups and highlighted ultra-wide panoramas of intimate scenes, explore the diversity of a remarkable mountain and its environs. This is Rainier Panorama. Photographed over a period of twenty-four years, from 1972 to 1995. Landon gives great emphasis to the unique perspective of the ultra-wide panoramic in this book. Accompanying Will's photograph's are written impressions from his Rainier journals.Out of the total of 118 photographs, there are over fifty panoramic views, some of which extend 360 degrees. More Than twenty of the panoramas expand the vertical angle of view to an ultra-wide perspective while rotating beyond 100 degrees horizontally, thus enhancing the feeling of "being there."Intimate scenes and close-ups of colorful mushrooms and flowers emphasize the personal nature of exploring the park.Rainier Panorama is an extraordinary book, destined to become the classic of its kind.
