Panorama Help

[mc_mic]

I need to know the secrets of shooting panoramic stills,


in my head the best technique would be to stand facing the piece wit your back on an opposite wall facing the piece, and move left to right while taking pictures,

i said this so that all the pics will be the same distance away from the camera and look even

however i doubt this is wat the pros do

[Live4TheWall]

I would recommend a tripod......


Just for starters.

[molotow_15]

i bet most people on here dont even kno what a panorama shots are,
i just use the camera settings and put the camera on a wall or so its flat,
fuck tripods no ones going carry them around with you :)

[Citizin]

a panorama is any wide view of a physical space

Yes or no?

on my camera theres panorama mode so it shows a transparent section of the previous picture along the corner and you have to line it up to take your next shot

Its burj dubai, i think, tallest hotel in the world if im not mistaken, right in the middle of middle east.

[Stear(Stare)]

dubais got all the top notch architecture, rich bastards....look em up sometime. i heard theyre makin a hotel that is completely underwater.

[def.]

just take a picture, remember where the edges were and sidestep until you get to you next frame then take the next picture, repeat as needed and fix/resize in photoshop.

the first ones will be shaky and have weird angles but eventually you master it.

[STAR01]

i i get it right... you can just place it on something flat nd then mark were the cam stood when you took the first pic nd mark the 2nd and so on.... hope i made myself clear :wacko:

[noam12]

the big pic i think is the atlantis in hawaii casue i remeber seeing a thing for it back when i watch that legends of the hidden temple show...lucky bastards one a free trip <_<

[N:Craze]

if your camera is high resolution take the pic from far away and then crop it down to size

tri pod...small level

level your camera but allow the tri pod to pivot in the desired direction...

start from one side, working you way towards the end, overlapping by about 20 percent each time (this allows for room to fiz in the photoshop process. if you dont have photoshop, use another art tool like illustrator....if you don&#39;t have anything but microsoft paint, stop reading)

it helps to have the camera in the vertical position if you can mannage it, but iv seen some pretty good results when its placed hoizontal as well...

when your done, load all the pictures into photoshop on one giant background, allowing each one to be on its own respective frame and place into desired position...(this might take a while as each shot will be slightly different from the next. dont worry, line it us as best you can for now. if you need to, lower the opacity as you move the selected frame to line it up nicely with it&#39;s neighbor)

now, choose one fram which you think has the best/vibrant color and allow that one to act as a template fore the rest. now, match up it&#39;s neighboring frames as closely as you can to its color, using levels, contrast, and hues to help you along the way. continue untill ALL frames are at an acceptable color/contrast.

now, take your eraser tool, choose a manigable size, and set the hardness to &#39;0&#39;...now on each seam between frames, erase the jagged/&#39;off&#39; bits until the all mesh together evenly...

if this wasn&#39;t clear to you, you can allways google &#39;photoshop panoramic shots tutorial&#39; of somthing...
