There are some views in the world so vast, so breathtaking, that you find yourself standing still, trying to commit every detail to memory. But even the most powerful travel moments fade unless you capture them, so photograph away and give them pride of place in your own home. Travel photographer Bella Falk has spent years chasing incredible landscapes across the globe. With CEWE’s help, she shares her top five panoramic views, plus how to shoot and preserve the magic in print. Machu Picchu, Peru Few panoramas are as iconic as this ancient Incan city (above), revealed to
visitors at the end of the Inca Trail. Falk’s advice is to try and capture a steady shot, even if the altitude makes your hands shaky. “Stand with your feet shoulder- width apart, tuck in your elbows and rotate from your waist,” she says. Once you get home, immortalise the view in a CEWE PHOTOBOOK or surprise a loved one with a personalised mug or memory box. Lake Atitlán, Guatemala Encircled by volcanoes and dotted with colourful villages, Lake Atitlán is Central America’s most photogenic lake. Its best moments appear at sunrise and sunset. “Recce your location beforehand,” Falk
advises. “You don’t want to be searching for an angle as the sun is going down.” To do justice to the location’s drama, the XL Square CEWE PHOTOBOOK with incredible fold-out panoramic pages lets you showcase the full sweep of the lake. Aït Benhaddou, Morocco This fortified village of red mudbrick has been a backdrop for countless films. But Falk warns against including moving people or cars in your panorama: “It can create odd warps or duplicates.” A striking shot of Aït Benhaddou deserves to be seen large. CEWE Photo Wall Art – from canvas to aluminium – is perfect for transforming a holiday snap into gallery-quality decor. Peyto Lake, Canada Banff National Park’s Peyto Lake (left) is so vividly turquoise, thanks to its glacial rock flour, that it hardly looks real. Falk recommends framing it with one-third sky and two-thirds landscape. Better still, capture and showcase it through the seasons in a CEWE Photo Calendar. With templates for wall, desk or planner designs, you can revisit its beauty all year long. Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park, Spain Declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997, this Pyrenean park is all drama: comprising glaciers, gorges, peaks and forests. “A great panorama delivers wow factor and reveals more the longer you look at it,” says Falk. To relive that feeling, create a CEWE PHOTOBOOK – printed, bound and quality-checked for a keepsake as enduring as the landscape itself. Whether you choose to display your panoramas on the wall, in a calendar or in a coffee-table book, CEWE offers a myriad of ways to celebrate your photography. With professional printing, sustainable materials and a wide choice of designs, your images will not just be stored but properly showcased – the perfect way to ensure that those unforgettable views stay with you forever.
