Panoramas 1

January's Aperture took comparing in-camera and software techniques for producing Panoramas and HDR images. We also touched on Focus Stacking - another technique that Olympus has now added to its battery of camera software.

First some observations from Ann - some of the pit falls of using the camera panorama setting.

This is a Crop of a Wide-angle (10mm) image of the Seven Sisters from Seaford Head

Using the panorama mode on the Fuji T-10 (vertical position) - unfortunately I haven't kept the horizon straight!

 Here - a nice straight sweep but I had a graduated filter and forgot to rotate

I like this one though not sure why there is a hot spot centrally

 Here how to do an extreme panorama by joining two in camera panoramas in Lightroom

What happens if you set the camera to sweep in vertical mode and use it horizontally!

 Above were all Fuji compact system camera - this is with the Sony RX100 in the Lake District - I find this compact does an excellent job on panorama mode
