PANORAMA EN HIGH DEFINITION PHOTO`S

A panoramapicture is not only beautiful but also offers a perspective that is more in line with the vision of our eyes. It is an ideal way to capture a beautiful landscape. It compares with a widescreen photo but it is even wider.

A panorama does not need to be horizontal. If you cannot apply a high subject in your picture, you can make a vertical panorama. With the same principle you can also create HD pictures. It is a kind of matrix recording, where you subject is divided into several sections. This results a photo which ultimately contains more details (high definition).

There are two important things to create a panorama of HD recording. First, make sure that the images have a enough overlap. The second, the exposure of each photo need to be the same. That means, the three `s value which determine the exposure, the shutter speed, the aperture and the iso-value of each recording should be similar. Compact cameras have mostly a panorama mode. Please notice that in that case the first photo should decide the exposure of the whole scene!
For beautiful panorama the use of a tripod is recommended. If you have a stable hand and a good panoramasoftware, you can taking pictures out of hand. If you do not use a tripod, keep in your mind that around you subject need to be some free space. Otherwise your software may not work correctly.

The software, that will merge your photos into a panorama, is very important. Often softwares are supplied with the camera, but it can probably merge no matrix images together and the possibilities are very limited. Personally, I can warmly recommend the software PTGui. This pastes everything incredibly well together, even hand-made photos or images with different exposure.

PROCEDURE COMPACT CAMERA:

change if necessary the iso-value and the white balance
adjust the panorama mode
follow the instructions and use enough overlap
if necessary, use a tripod

PROCEDURE FOR ADVANCED CAMERAS:

change if necessary, the iso-value and white balance
do light metering at various points of your scene
set manually the best shutter speed in the manual mode (M)
take photos with sufficient overlap
if necessary, use a tripod
