THERE’S A NEW GAME IN TOWN

We call it #PanoPoker.

Pano Poker Rules, or #PanoPokerRules

History:

Mike Spinak and Barry Blanchard were inspired by the popular #BirdPoker game which the dashing Phil Armishaw and the lovely Lee Daniels started several months ago. Barry and Mike decided to start a landscape photography version of the game.

Rules:

Wiki says:

”A panorama (formed from Greek πᾶν “all” + ὅραμα “sight”) is any wide-angle view or representation of a physical space, whether in painting, drawing, photography, film/video, or a three-dimensional model.”

But we’re not Wiki – so any landscape photo is game-worthy.

While HDR is fine, we would like to see genuine captures instead of a unicorn cut and pasted into a field of poppies, with lightning, rainbows and dolphin dust.

Let’s try to keep it real.

How to Play:

Anyone can join in on the fun at any time!

Suggested themes will be posted at random intervals. Here are a few examples:

Sunsets, sunrises, forests, beaches, mountains, wide angles, telephotos, cityscapes, and so forth.

It’s best to watch the game to see how it flows, before joining, until you grok (get) what you should post.

If it’s a new game, open low, instead of opening with your strongest shot. Increase the “wow!” factor as you go. It’s more fun when everyone can join and stay in as long as possible.

The “prize” is the fun of playing. Everyone is a winner just for playing the game.

While not exactly adhering to standard rules of poker, we do encourage a bit of trash talking. Most of all: lets have some fun!
