The art of Panorama

I joined this forum site in Vietnam (www.photo.vn), of course its in vietnamese. man i have learned a lot of stuff from them. one of this is this recent techniques that they were discussing "the Art of Panorama". I just want to share some of the things being discussed and hopefully we could further look at this here.

some panorama shots they have shared there.

here is a small lesson from them. There are some vietnamese words, but i think the pictures could already explain what it means.

the different panorama


shot angles


the equipment attached to the camera

Stitching panorama images in Photoshop is pretty easy. but of course if pictures were not taken properly it will be more difficult. Here is a quick tutorial and i know a lot there.

some more panoramas

tfs nomer! yes we have that special ballhead here in the office. our in-house photographer shoots and stitch panorama images too. but most here don't appreciate these images until it's converted into quicktime vr.

we also have a special umbrella reflector that can help capture a 180-deg hemisphere in one shot. an instant hdr/quicktime vr in a few mouseclicks.

alternatively, you can also create panoramas using a fisheye lens (w/ just 3-shot stitched together by another software).

btw, the diy ballhead is cool, and the last pic is at the war museum right?

wow another bunch of knowledge from you there. after using hypershot im really interested in these panoramas. im also looking in converting multiple exposures into one hdri file output. as you know hypershot lighting is using hdri materials so im looking on these two areas.

that umbrella refelctor i think is cool.

yes thats the museum indeed. yeah youve here before right?

yup, and the war depictions in there are not for the faint hearted =)

tama ka bay. but its really good to see the remnants of history.

sir nomeradona, thanks for feeding me for this knowledge

bro merong software yung quicktime na alam ko. bi cubic ata yun.. google munalang. simple lang sya all you have to do is name your views (kahit render pwede rin) then it will stitch and convert them to VR.
