Playing Around With Panoramics

 Hi All,


Welcome to My Photographic Observations.

I recently have been inspired to try something a little different with my photography.

What we see mostly on social media are photographs that are in they're usual aspect ratios. After watching some You Tube videos I came across a person who made mainly panoramic images. His reason being ishe thought it was much easier on the eye as the images were narrow amd took up less wall space if printing and hanging. 

Now depending which type of camera you are using the picture aspect ratio could be 3:2 on normal DSLR'S or 4:3 on medium format or micro four third's cameras. Cell Phones tend to have an aspect ratio of 5:4. A nice aspect ratio that I like is aproximately 3:1 which I generlay try to go for.

I am still trying to figure out how many images to take but at the moment have been trying for between 5-7 images using a vertical style. With the images down below they were hand held and I overlapped each shot by 50% so it would stitch easier when putting it together in editing.

The first image below I kind of got it although it was only 5 Shots and in looks it wasn't quite the 3:1 I was looking for and I couldnt crop it because I wanted to use all the pixels and the shadows.

 

 

The second image was 8 shots vertically hand held and closer to the 3:1 aspect I was looking for.

I still need some practice but I am enjoying the challenge. 

The last image is also an approximate 3:1 aspect.

Of course a good composition is vitaly important as always and there are always challenges with water etc.

What do you think? Panoramas or not really fussed by it?

If any comments of course please leave down below.

Thank you for taking the time to look and read.
