More Than Meets The Eye

OM contributor, top outdoor photographer and performer extraordinary Alastair Lee has a new exhibition on starting this weekend.

'More Than Meets The Eye' showcases a selection of Alastair's beautiful 360-degree panoramic landscapes from all around the globe and runs from 14 August till 25 September at the Mid Pennine Gallery in Yorke Street, Burnley.

Even better, entry to the exhibition is free with opening hours Monday to Saturday, 10 till 5pm, except Tuesday when it's open from 10am to 1pm only - not 10pm as we originally said, oops... If you're desperate for an evening viewing, get in touch with Alastair direct and he'll see what he can do.

So why 'more than meets the eye'? Alastair chose the label because the panoramic shots take us beyond our normal field of vision making them incredibly striking and unusual. The exhibition includes images from locations ranging from Bolivian salt lakes and Andean mountain vistas to North America's wild west, Canadian lakes, Moroccan deserts, French forests, Lakeland fells and Alastair's local hunting ground in East Lancashire.'

Also available at the exhibition is a 32-page booklet featuring all the images from the exhibition priced at £7.99. To give you an idea, here's a couple of Alastair's finest. For a larger version, just click the image.
