Spherical Panoramas (a.k.a tiny planets or photospheres) are part of our everyday life, including street view in Google Maps, online realty listings and most recently the advent of Apple's Vision Pro virtual reality computer headset.

This is a workshop to explore the creative aspects of long exposures taken during daylight. Similar in concept to night photography, daytime long exposures record 1 to 15 minutes of time in a single photo. This no longer freezes actions, but rather records the element of time, where water surfaces smooth over to a mirror finish, clouds form bands in the sky, lights and shadows soften and people start disappearing. This creates unique and intriguing images of the world that we usually perceive in momentary exposures. The resulting imagery is peaceful, can be otherworldly and intriguingly
