Back in 2011, I have spent five weeks traveling Europe. When I returned home to Montréal, Québec, Canada, I told myself I needed more time to travel. These few weeks in Europe had transformed me.
Less than two years later, in 2013, I left the normal life and became a nomad, after I got rid of almost everything I had. I started to visit countries and sites, especially UNESCO World Heritage sites, both natural and cultural.
I opted for land travel and I traveled by bus, train or boat all the way from St. John’s Newfoundland, the easternmost city of Canada, down to Ushuaia (Argentina), the southernmost city of the world. I crossed all the countries in between, and I visited tons of interesting sites.
After visiting all the continental countries in the Americas (except for Venezuela), I went to Europe. I began visiting Scandinavia (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland), then I spent many months in the British Islands, in Spain, in Portugal, in Italy, in Croatia.
After that, I returned to spend some time “home” to visit friends. Then I hit the road again to revisit my favorite spots in Mexico and Central America.
When the COVID pandemic hit, I was in Guatemala, so I spent about two years there. In the fall of 2021, I went back to visit friends … and flew back to Mexico, then to Colombia, where I am now for a few months. Ecuador is my next country, before I return to Colombia to finish the year. After that? I don’t know.
So, I’ve been traveling the world for over nine years now. I’ve visited over three dozen countries and taken magnificent pictures all over. I have taken astonishing pictures of nature and landscapes, but also of human creations.
My photography preference goes to the panoramic format. I find this format matches best the way we, humans, look at the world. I find the regular formats (4:3 or 16:9) are too restrictive. To create my panoramic photos, I take a series of high-resolution
photos and I assemble (stitch) them together. The result is a giant photography of 150, 200 or even 300 megapixels (MP), compared to about 15 MP or 20 MP you get from a regular phone or camera.
In this shop, I present you some of my best panoramic photos taken during my trips. Many come in various ratios (2:1, 3:1 and 4:1). 2:1 meaning it is twice as wide as it is high. Why? Because sometimes you might be looking for a specific ratio for your walls, or you might prefer the view a 3:1 photo provides you better than a 4:1 photo.
Sometimes, the change of ratio or crop provides a totally different view or experience.
With the photos I place in this shop, it’s almost like I’m bringing you with me to the various places I visited throughout the years. You get to see some wonders of the world at a fraction of the cost.
I hope you enjoy my photos,
Sylvain
