The first way I did panoramic photography was a little bit of a cheat. It was soon made prominent within the company by Apple's board member and former astronaut Sally Ride, who was fascinated by the demonstrated possibilities of 3D computer imagery. QuickTime VR was conceived in 1991 by programmers Eric Chen and Ian Small of the Human Interface Group in the Advanced Technology Group at Apple, utilizing a Cray supercomputer to process images into panoramas. It functions as plugins for the QuickTime Player and for the QuickTime Web browser plugin. It allows the creation and viewing of VR photography, photographically captured panoramas, and the viewing of objects photographed from multiple angles. for QuickTime, and discontinued along with QuickTime 7. QuickTime VR (also known as QTVR) is an image file format developed by Apple Inc. There's a link to a huge version of it in the image description too if you're pixel peeper curious.July 1995 27 years ago ( July 1995) Very little beyond cropping was required to clean it up: This pano consisted of 9 vertical shots stitched together using Photoshop's photomerge command on auto with default settings. I find that it also helps to prepare each individual image in advance with lens correction to make it as easy as possible for your stitching program. Keeping your focal length in the normal range (~35-70) can also help since most lenses are generally pretty flat in those ranges with less barrel distortion. No matter what program you use the stitch will rarely be perfect, so that gives you some extra vertical breathing room. Yes, vertical orientation is generally the best way to go in order to help compensate for lost pixels at the top and bottom from cropping. Photoshop does this very nice but I use Panorama Maker that came with my Panasonic ZR1 compact. Do not forget also to lock exposition in the first frame so you do not have different contrast and/or color nuances. I would suggest you use a normal lens such as 35mm (which is something like the 50mm for a full frame camera) and use tripod if speed is lower than 1/80. (I haven't tried this))) But there is a plugin for LR that you can try called "lightroom enfuse"Īs far as I am concerned when shooting vertical pictures for a panoramic collage one should avoid using wide-angle lenses provided they distort too much. If you don't have PS just download the free trial. Zeroneg1 edited this topic 117 months ago. They are not blurred while moving because I used high shutter speed.īut I got DUPLICATES of people moving :) Notice the same guy walking multiple times on the 2nd pic :) This is a fascinating procedure one that before digital PP could not have been achieved. Zeroneg1 how come the moving people are not blurred? What settings are you using? I do have a tripod which I will try using the vertical setting and go from there. Thanks for all of the help and the suggestions on the Microsoft ICE. A free, and workable, download from Microsoft. I have used my old Photoshop CS3 photomerge facility for panorama construction, but lately I have been using ICE. If you are shooting Jpeg set a fixed White Balance, or it can change as you move round. I have the AF set to trigger by the AE-L button so focus stays the same. Switch off ADL, or set it to low, and turn off auto ISO (D90 will auto iso itself even in manual!). I switch the D90 to Manual, using a meter reading from the brightest section of the panorama. I used Lightroom 5 for basic editing then stitched them in Photoshop + additional tweaks. I see one blurry section which makes me wish I used the tripod that was in my trunk!!! Here is one hand-held I posted a few minutes ago. ![]() It is possible hand-hold but use a tripod. en-us/um/redmond/groups/ivm/ice/Īs mentioned above. That is shoot a series of VERTICAL PANELS. i use Microsoft ICE to stitch the pano shots together.īest way to make panorama is to shoot VERTICALLY: Use your AE/AF lock to lock exposure and focus. I use LR5 if that is helpful and typically for landscape shots I use my Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 ![]() I have looked online but have not had much luck so I figured I would try here to get some advice on shooting a panoramic on my d90.
