Lancashire-based photographer, film maker and climber Alastair
Lee's 'More Than Meets The Eye' exhibition of 360-degree panoramic
photography is at Rheged from the end of this week until late
May.
Sub-titled 'landscapes from around the world in 360 degrees', the
exhibition is a collection of Alastair's photographyand includes
shots from Bolivian salt lakes and Andean mountain vistas - below -
via Nortth America's world west, to Moroccan deserts and Chinese
wilderness ending up with shots from the Lakes and Alastair's home
Lancashire moors.
The shots were taken using a traditional photographic camera using
a special tripod head and the resulting all round image goes way
beyong our normal field of vision making the images seem particularly
mind-boggling and unusual, hence 'more than meets the eye'.
With Alastair being a climber, you can often spot tiny figures of
climbers in the midst of the landscapes. The exhibition runs at the
National Mountaineering Exhibitiona at Rheged from 3 March through
to 28 May.
Film Too...
Also at Rheged, Alastair's fillm 'Storms of Laughter' is showing
in the lecture theatre on Friday 6 May.

No mater how hard you look at these pictures, it's still hard to envisage them as 360 degree panoramas, as opposed to the 160 degree we, as humans see! Oh to be a rabbit!
