actually standard size for paintings is 4:5 hence we have 8:10, 16x20, and 24x30. I don't argue that the standard is 4x3, and don't argue that you can do nice work with that size, but I do say it gets tiresome looking at the same aspect ration and the same field of view. If you work only in 4:3 because it is a job, I understand that as well I work in 2:3 and 4x5 for the same reasons, but I only limit my final work to this form. See Cligula/Sarah's post above she created A 3:1 panorama but enlarged the final canvas to fill the 4:3 ratio. If you like showing your work at full screen size try a 3:1 panorama at 2100x1000 and then cut it into 3 pieces to show. Or just for kicks take a new look at your favorite landscape scene and change the settings to 2:1 and 90 degrees and give it a render. for those who have responded I never meant this topic as an insult as I think some have taken. I enjoy your work immensely and I hope those who read and continue to debate and post here see it only as art philosophy, which was the intention. And to those who have emailed me on this subject, I can't wait to see the work. I wish the fine art community could accept and appreciate the things that appear on the web as much as I do, and would spend big bucks on them. You deserve to hang in galleries too.
