panorama images
« on: March 06, 2008, 03:53:58 PM »
Been playing with the Arcsoft Panorama Maker 4 software that came with my Lumix FZ18.
Works great for interior shots to create a really wide angle lens effect.  Think this software
costs about $40 but I'm sure there is free software out there and most cameras come
with one brand or another.  It's recommended to use a tripod and not let the exposure vary
too much from one shot to the next.

Great panoramic photo.

I love panoramic pictures.  They are my absolute favorite.  I use photoshop CS3 to do mine.  Some pointers on doing them is to keep the camera level, overlap the photos by at least 25%, lock your exposure as the same for every shot, and expose on the most midtone area that will show up in your final panoramic photo.  Also, try and use a lens that isn't too wide or long.  A 35-80mm is perfect.  Maybe I'll post some later...

That is really stunning Billy.  Blending can be tough with Photoshop so I make sure I lock the exposure for all the frames.

Thanks guys. I will admit that I got lucky and that I took the pics in auto mode. I really don't know alot about photography other then to take a lot of images. It was a tad rough as I was standing on a dock and I was trying not to create ripple in the water as well as keep the camera steady.

Ice - I took those pics that same day I took the one in my avatar ( I was driving on Hwy 101 ) and I was on my way to WORK. lol
