![]() This will prevent having to re-focus the camera for every shot. If your lens doesn’t have this option, simply focus the camera on a point in the distance and switch the lens to manual. Set the lens to manual focus and twist the focus ring to ‘Infinity’. If the shutter is slower than 1/200th of a second, a tripod would provide the best results. Set the ISO and white balance independently rather than in auto to avoid variations across the sequence. This combination was chosen to achieve a more exaggerated ‘warp’ and retain a professional look in the final image.Įxposure settings are manual with an aperture set to F11 or greatest for depth of field. The sample photographs in this article are shot on a Canon 5SDR and EF11-24F4L lens. I recommend the widest lens at the widest zoom setting for the best results. ![]() For example, if you stand in front of a subject with a wide lens, the closest point appears larger than the background. The technique, which I call ‘extreme’, is unique because we warp the perspective of a wide lens as the feature rather than the flaw. There are many different ways to shoot a panoramic photograph and stitch them together in post-production. However, shooting with a panoramic technique that uses multiple images, you could shoot 180 degrees and even greater. ![]() For example, if you a trying to shoot an open field with a standard wide angle lens, you might only fit 25% of the composition in a single frame. Panoramic photography is a way of photographing a subject in a scene, wider than the normal field of view. It will become an important technique in your toolbox of photography techniques that is both fun to shoot and edit after! Using a different technique such as the 'Extreme Panoramic' will enable you to create a striking image that will grab the attention of the viewer. I love the challenge of photographing the same subject that one million other photographers have shot before, but in a way that no one else has seen it. My answer to that is that everyone always shoots from eye level, or on a tripod. We have all seen amazing photographs and thought to ourselves, "why doesn't mine look like that?". I think capturing a great landscape is one of the most difficult images to shoot. Article and images by Queensland Canon Photographer, Greg Sullavan.
