Shoot Panoramas: How panoramas aren't just for Landscapes. Panoramas are extremely wide-angle images, generally consisting of a number of shots compiled together to complete the single wide-angle photo. Panoramas are therefore ideal for landscape scenes that are too vast to get into a single shot. However, they can also be used to simply elongate the perspective of the scene according to PFBmag.
Often it’s not only landscapes that are difficult to fit into a single frame. Even with the some of the widest cameras and lenses, it’s still tricky to squeeze everything you want to capture into one single shot.
Commonly, interior images require very-wide angles of view, due to having restricted space in which to stand and having few choices of composition.
Utilising a panorama technique is therefore one of the best ways to include an entire interior scene within one single photograph.
Although panoramas are usually kept horizontal, switching the orientation to vertical allows you to take the simple technique to new locations and capture some truly unique shots. Striking and ornate interiors such as those that can be found in churches and cathedrals will usually have interest at both eye level all the way through to the ceiling above. This type of beautiful interior architecture makes them the perfect subjects for experimenting with shooting vertical panoramas.
Half of the scene.
Even with a wide-angle lens, a single photo will only show a small part of the scene, which just doesn’t have the visual impact of a vertical panorama.
Shoot vertically for a unique perspective.
Use your scene modes.
Many cameras now come with a panorama mode. This guides you through taking a succession of images for a finished panorama. If you don’t have this mode, you can take a succession of shots and stitch them together in editing software.
Choose your settings.
If your camera doesn’t have a built-in panorama mode, it’s best to try and take control of the settings. Switch to aperture priority and select an aperture of around fll. This will give a large-enough depth of field to have most of the interior in focus.
Single point autofocus.
Adjusting your AF setting is important, as you want the focus to be the same for each shot. Switching to a single point AF will stop the camera from focusing while you recompose, as well as allowing you to choose the best part of the scene to focus on.
Shoot wide.
Although not always necessary, selecting a wide focal length allows you to get the most of the scene in the shot as possible. Stitching shots together for a panorama also lets you overlap images, so don’t be afraid to include more than you need.
Set up a tripod.
A tripod is a key accessory for capturing panoramas. Not only does it help to keep the camera still in less-than-perfect lighting conditions, it ensures you keep the camera in the same position and allows you to smoothly move between each shot.
Take your shots.
Start at the top or bottom of your scene and focus in the centre of the frame. Take your first shot, then tilt the camera slightly to shoot the next. Repeat these steps to capture the entire view. Turn the page to see how to stitch them together.
