Pan 3Sixty photographer Phil Giles won the February Flair Competition run by Creativematch with a panorama of the woodland near Much Hadham created earlier in the year. See the previous blog entry for more about the panorama, or click here to see a larger version.
Creativematch is setup to “provide everything for the UK creative industry, online.” and Flair is their “monthly competition for illustrators and photographers. It is designed as a showcase of recent work, a chance to show off your talents to the wider creative community and it’s clients. It’s also the chance to put your work before a global audience and have it judged by industry experts.”

During the recent cold snap, I produced a series of panoramas of the local countryside. Living on a single track dead end road, it’s never cleared nor gritted and so it doesn’t take much for us to get snowed in. As such, my walks were limited to the neighboring Hertfordshire villages of Perry Green, Much Hadham, Hunsdon and Widford, where I live.
In near white-out conditions and with the snow still falling, the local landscape was totally transformed and provided the opportunity to create sublime panoramas of the ‘near monochrome’ scenery.
Editing the final selection down to three panoramas, and experimenting with a number of different panoramic projections, I found each of the compositions naturally lent themselves to being displayed in their own particular way.
