There’s something about the panorama style that suits the Uyuni three day tour so well. The way the vistas are distorted seems to mimic the strange giddy feeling of being at high altitude in a landscape so different from anywhere else on Earth.

WOW! Empty space are always fascinating to look at. Nice panorama. It’s one of my weak points in taking pictures. You obviously do better job.
I’d like to take credit for these wonderful landscapes, but honestly, I think it’d be hard not to take great photos here. The scenery just makes every shot look good! The panorama setting is probably my favourite feature on my camera, although it doesn’t always work well (in low light conditions, for example).
I love the panoramas! I love taking them too, I have some from Uyuni too, I have a DSLR though so use photo stitching software to put the shots together as panoramas, which is handy because then you can included as much or little as you want! I love how your site is set up too, I still don’t know how to makes pages yet…hmm you’re giving me ideas.
One day…one day I’ll get a DSLR. For now I make do with my compact, which isn’t too bad really. Glad you could take some inspiration from here – that’s what blogging’s all about, sharing and learning
I’ve never used the panorama setting on my camera — if it has one. I should look into that.
Beautiful photos! I have a Sony camera with an isweep feature, wondering if that’s what you used?
Thanks! My camera is a Nikon S9100, which isn’t bad but I prefer my old Lumix that I had before (although it didn’t have a panorama feature).
I also have a Sony camera with isweep and have taken many panorama’s using it. It’s a great feature.
Thank you for sharing these stunning photos of Uyuni, they are truly spectacular!
Great panoramic pics, well done.
I’ll put it on my “one day” list.

an amazing place that captured my heart
How was the weather? Does it fluctuate dramatically there at certain times?
Amazing views. So glad i caught this post.
Glad you enjoyed the pictures!
The weather was pretty cold, even in the middle of the day, because of the wind chill. It was also the coldest time of the year. Although it did get really hot in our jeep when the sun was on it (I had to strip down to my t-shirt) and considering none of us had proper winter clothes, just lots and lots of layers, we didn’t freeze too much.
Spectacular — such astoundingly blue blues! And I love the contrast between sand and sky. Wow…
Wow! they are awesome! not everybody can do a good job when it comes to panoramas.
thumbs up!
wow these panos are really amazing! nice work
Stunning mate! I never shot a panorama before, maybe I should try it.
Just a question though, is Uyuni the same place that look like huge glass being put in the surface (now I’m confuse myself, I hope you get what I mean)?
Yes, Uyuni’s that mirror-looking place, but only in the wet season when the water collects on the surface of the salt flats. These pictures are from different places we visited on the three day tour around the area.
wow, beautiful pictures
makes me want to visit!
very cool photos, the panorama suits the subject matter…. vast ! Tanya
Too bad you didn’t get to go there when there’s water on the salt flat… that’s even nicer!
Yeah, I’d like too see it in all its reflective glory too.
January to March is a good time for that. If the weather does what it’s supposed to do.
It’s unbelievably pretty!
WOW! they are amazing!
No words to talk about any snap shots.. not even a caption….but the amazing fact is that the pictures themselves tell a lot no word in any spoken language would have ever been able to express.
Great pics indeed found stylist expressions in your enthralling style.
Just amazing to see (Clear blue sky + Clear Ground dirt) !
I can’t wait to get there and see it for myself. We (my girlfriend and I) are on a year long journey starting from Mexico and spanning to Brazil. Currently we are in Colombia but keep hearing great things about Uyuni. I hope to get some great reflection shots. Congrats from a fellow photographer/freshly pressed alum!
Thanks for the praise!
We are eventually gonna make it to Colombia, and I must say I can’t wait to get somewhere warmer than Bolivia. I’ll check out your adventures before we go so I can get ideas
Amazing shots! I loved the way you have captured the emptiness, the scenery…
Congratulations on being Freshly Pressed.
Thanks!
breath taking pictures..
Just Beautiful !!!! Looks like I need to put this place on my list of places to travel. Thanks for sharing and Congrats on being Freshly Pressed.
Thanks! I’d definitely recommend it.
Very nice photography! Stunning!
Thank you for sharing, and congratulations for being on Freshly Pressed!
You nailed the essence of the locations with these panoramas! There is something about vast openness and empty spaces that leaves many of in awe. Trying to capture that is near impossible to convey to people that have never been there before. Great post my friend. Do you mind if I repost the photos and some of your reflection on them over at http://www.photoguides.net?
Thank you! I’d be happy to let you repost some pics – glad you enjoyed them!
Awesome! I will let you know when it’s up!

Wow… I’d love to visit those places some day! But before that, I should stick to looking at your awesome photos about the area! :p
Thanks Katariina!
Grr… sorry, I have been trying so hard to get to the Salars in Bolivia. I’ve been to South America on 3 separate occasions and never made it! I even wrote a post about it and my other biggest travel regrets” http://iamanafterschoolspecial.wordpress.com/2012/08/21/what-are-your-biggest-travel-regrets-oh-the-places-i-havent-been/
Hopefully someday I can have a post with self taken panoramic’s as beautiful (or not) as yours!
Nice shots, and congrats on FP.
I’m Brazilian Love it !
Beautiful shots! Congratulations for being freshly pressed!

These are amazing!

Amazing pictures…
Nice panos
Love. It.
Great pictures
Looks like scenes from a movie. Great shots.
Bravo! Grate shots
Beautiful place… very well captured!!… i m guessing the panorama style is really showing the full scenery, with everything right in place that can’t be viewed in a normal picture…. lovely!… i m a sucker for nature and good photography of great places…
Lovely set of images, landscapes suit panorama and you have certainly achieved this to a very high standard. Excellent!!!!
Cheers Callie
Amazing pics!! I love panorama shots! Whenever I can take them, I do it!

thanks for sharing.
I miss South America. What a beautiful blog.
My best friend gave me a 35mm years ago with a panoramic setting. Sadly, it no longer works, but I still have some of the shots. Beautiful.
These are incredible!
nice panoramas
