I have not posted a panorama in some time so I thought I would post a\u00a0Pedernales Falls Sunset Panorama that I captured during my trip to the Pedernales Falls State Park\u00a0last week. I really enjoy taking panoramas. I not only enjoy the technical challenge but I also really like the added detail that comes along with stitching together multiple high-resolution photographs to form a very high resolution final result.<\/p>\n

I posted some tips on taking panorama photographs last August<\/a>. I thought it would be a good idea to summarize some of these tips given\u00a0that I have a number of new subscribers. Here are some important things to consider when photographing a panorama image:<\/p>\n

Tripod<\/strong><\/span>: A heavy-duty tripod is the foundation of a good photograph and it is a must when shooting panoramas.<\/p>\n

Panorama Head<\/strong><\/span>: Shooting panoramas with a standard tripod head is very hard to do. A panorama head on your tripod is a big plus. A panorama head has a leveling eye and rotates above the tripod leveling so that the rotation is level notwithstanding an unleveled tripod.<\/p>\n

Portrait Orientation<\/strong><\/span>: Many people shoot panoramas in landscape mode and end up with a very thin strip. Turn your camera to portrait mode and you\u2019ll have a taller panorama. That’s what I did in the photo below.<\/p>\n

Lens<\/strong><\/span>: I prefer to use a medium range lens for these type of shots. I find that somewhere between 70mm and 200mm is a good focal distance. It just depends on how far your subject is. I broke this rule with this photograph as I wanted to capture a much wider view.<\/p>\n

Metering<\/strong><\/span>: Once you\u2019ve got your camera set up, meter the entire scene and find a good exposure balance then set your camera on manual mode and key in the appropriate settings (aperture, shutter speed & ISO). Also, make sure the white balance is set to something other than Auto so that it\u2019s consistent across all the images.<\/p>\n

Overlap<\/strong><\/span>: I use a 50% overlap when I\u2019m shooting. This gives the software more data from which to decipher the stitching process. Most photographers recommend 30%.<\/p>\n

Remote<\/strong><\/span>: I always use a wired or wireless remote to trigger the shutter. It eliminates any unnecessary camera shake and you get sharper images.<\/p>\n

\"Pedernales<\/a>Pedernales Falls Sunset Panorama<\/p>\n

This image was taken with my\u00a0Canon EOS 5DS<\/a>\u00a0using my\u00a0Canon EF 16-35mm f\/4 Lens<\/a>\u00a0set on 16\u00a0mm. The camera was set on Manual mode with the aperture set at f\/22, shutter speed at 1\/3 and the ISO set at 100.\u00a0This is a series of seven images stitched together into a single panorama image in Lightroom. Final processing was done in Photoshop. I also used Nik Color Efex Pro.<\/p>\n
