Panorama Photography

Panorama photography is an interesting way to show off a lot in one picture. Panorama’s are often used with landscapes in order to get more of the area into one picture. The format of a panorama is an elongated photograph – as seen below. The creation of panorama’s is really quite easy. On a lot of camera’s, there are often settings that you can use to specifically create panorama’s. You just choose your starting point, and then move the camera in a straight line to the right until you reach your endpoint.

Here are my top 3 tips for panorama photography –

1)      Make sure the area you are doing a panorama in has a lot to show off, you don’t want it to be a boring image!

2)      Try to avoid having things that move in your panorama (people, animals, cars) unless they are perfectly still because if they move when you are in the process of taking your panorama, it could mess up the image.

3)      If your iPhone has a panorama setting, I would recommend starting with that instead of an actual camera’s setting – as this can be a bit easier to work with. I have found that my iPhone’s panorama setting works better than my camera one, and it even allows you to choose how long you want the image to be. With the last one, that is an example of a shorter panorama.
