Panoramas

Panoramic images are so easy to create now that they hardly take any longer than a regular photograph. If you want to do them with the maximum possible technical accuracy you'll use a panoramic tripod head, adjust your nodal point precisely, rotate the camera to a vertical position for maximum coverage and resolution and then overlap your shots at specific degree intervals.

But you can also shoot panoramas handheld, visually estimating the overlap between frames and worrying about the stitching process later.

Some cameras will even stitch panoramas live, in-camera, though these will be JPEG images that don't really give you any opportunity for fixing things up more carefully later.

Elements Photomerge Panorama

When you hear the word ‘panorama’, you usually think of sweeping, letterbox-shaped vistas which are about ten times wider than they are high. Panoramas this wide, however, are very difficult to print and display effectively, and often lack the visual impact you meant them to have. In fact, traditional ‘panoramic’ cameras didn’t always go this […]

Polar panoramas… on an iPhone?

July 28, 2013 by Rod Lawton

iPhone Handy Photo Tiny Planet filter

Polar panoramas are ordinary landscapes turned into miniature spherical planets. Usually, you create them by first shooting a 360-degree panorama as a sequence of overlapping shots and then combining them using Photoshop or some dedicated panoramic stitching software. The polar panorama I’ve created here, though, was produced in about thirty seconds from a single everyday […]
