There are a lot of awesome things you can do with photography. This really gained my interest. Have anyone knows "panorama"? Panorama is a very wide view or representation of a physical space in painting, in photography, and in everything else that makes art. If in the past days that this can only be done with painting just by sketching on a wide piece of canvas. But now, it can be done in photography. How? Alright! I will just tell what have I learned. But first, here's an example:
360 degree panorama picture of the center courtyard of the Sony Center at the Potsdamer Platz in Berlin. This picture was calculated from 126 individual photos using autostitch. |
The photo above is an example of a panoramic image. It has a very long way to create one. Ok! Here goes:
- Equipment: Have a DSLR (Digital Single-Lens Reflex) camera that you depend most and you proud most because of your career. Let me explain about lenses: Those lenses having 8-24mm, those are wide lens. Those lenses having 24-70mm are medium. And, those lenses having 70-200mm or more are telephoto. Wide lens are pretty good for panoramic shots. Panoramic shots can be done in any lenses as long as you have instincts in photography. And also, have multimedia/high definition gaming class PC that runs stitching editing programs like Adobe Photoshop CC's Photomerge (explained later).
- Adjustments: Aperture is very important to for making panoramic shots. f/16 is mostly used for panoramic shots because it is truly the middle of the two limits of aperture. If anything is set lower than f/16 (like f/22) causes chromatic aberation and simply called vignette.So set the most middle aperture as most middle as possible. The equity is in there. In your DSLRs, set the mode into "Av", that's Aperture priority. Consecutive shots must be done in manual mode "M" because staying in "Av" might alter exposures.
- Techniques: Did you know that the images must be stitched afterwards? Well, editing is required. When you are about to take another shot in another angle. Leave a space similar to the right end of the first one and the left end of the second one. Overlap by 20-50%.
- Formats: The image must be large JPEGs or RAWs.
- Lost?: If you don't know where your shots begun or ended, take a shot as a marker.
- Editing: Use stitching software like Photoshop's Photomerge, Hugin, and Autopanogiga.
