Product Description
A guide to creating panoramic pictures using everything from simple 35mm and APS cameras, through to more specialized medium- and large-format cameras, right up to the 360-degree digital panoramas created using stitching programmes. It covers compositional issues (finding subjects that fit the shape and making the most of them); technical considerations (exposure measurement, avoiding flare, etc); and the various types of equipment that can be used. Much of the book is practical, but it is also illustrated with panoramic pictures. It opens with a gallery of images, and there are interviews with a selection of panoramic photographers, discussing their approach and equipment. The volume has a fun, modern look and should be useful for anyone with an interest in panoramic photography.

www.clickherephotographytips.com The Fuji G617 Panoramic camera is an absolute pleasure to own and to use, although it does have a few teething problems This camera was first developed in Japan by the Fuji Photo Film Company in 1982 and has the ability to take print or transparency film images at a size of 6cm x 17cm which look amazing on a light table and much better when you see a print hanging on your wall. The camera accepts film that is generally used in Medium Format cameras like Hasselblad, Rollei etc and is a larger sized film than the traditional 35mm film that many photographers were using before the invention of digital photography. I do not feel that digital photography will result in the demise of film photography, at least not for sometime Moving On The camera accepts two sized of film, actually…

Oblique, Vertical and Panoramic Aerial Photography – Aerial Photography at an Angle

Whether you work in surveying or real estate, or are a business owner who needs photographs of your own establishment, it is important to know the various angles and techniques aerial photographers can use to get the pictures you need.

In this article, we will discuss three different types of aerial photography: Oblique, Vertical, and Panoramic. Each method will produce a very different result and it is important to choose the method most suited to the situation you want to display.

Oblique Aerial Photography – In oblique-angle aerial photography, the camera is focused at any angle between three degrees from vertical and  the horizon. There are two basic types of oblique: high-angle and low-angle. In high-angle oblique, the apparent horizon is shown, while in low-angle oblique the horizon is not. With high oblique photography, atmospheric haze and clouds often prevent the viewer from seeing the true horizon. The furthest…

Panoramic Photography in a Nutshell

Posted by brian | Posted in Videography Articles | Posted on 05-31-2010

Panoramic tours are the new wonders of photography. The result may be one breath taking photo, but it takes more than that to make it. Panoramic photography is all about patience and choosing the right angle for more than one photo. But it sure pays off, for photographers and other people that use it alike. Panoramic tours look great, especially on realtors’ web sites or on photographers’ ones. Inexperienced photographers wish to be able to do that, while the rest of us wonder how they are made.

Truth be told, panoramic photography does not take that much. In the most basic terms, you only need a camera loaded with film, or a digital camera, a tripod that you can use to swivel 360degree (rotation) and to somehow stitch it. However, if you are looking for a more advanced explanation, you need to know the nodal point of…

360 degree view possible through panoramic video cameras

Posted by brian | Posted in Videography Articles | Posted on 01-10-2010

Panoramic photography is a technique of photography, that involves the use of specialized equipment or software that captures images with elongated fields of view. It is also known as wide format photography. This term is also used for a photograph that is cropped to a relatively wide aspect ratio. While there is no formal division between “wide-angle” and “panoramic” photography, “wide angle” normally refers to a type of lens, but this lens type does not necessarily image a panorama. With the use of new technology it is possible to capture 360 degree panoramic video.

Panoramic video capturing has become an essential requirement for infantry and Special Forces. Much of the specialized equipment such as the night vision equipment and sophisticated panoramic cameras are used in the door-to-door search and destroy enemy’s mission and to round them up. Navy Seals, Swat Teams, Special Forces have been using such modern…

Product Description
The unusual perspective of a panoramic image creates a unique and intriguing visual experience for the viewer. Skillfully executed, panoramic photography can realize scenes which could otherwise never be captured in an image or seen with the naked eye.

Panoramas offer new possibilities for creative photographers, either as flat, two-dimensional images, or mapped into a 3D space that can be visited on a virtual tour. New, powerful, panorama software makes the workflow easier and more efficient than ever before.

Author Harald Woeste takes the reader on a tour from the basics of capturing panoramas, all the way through stitching, editing, and printing panoramic images. He provides a detailed description of the necessary equipment and materials, as well as the various software tools that can be used in the workflow. The latter half of the book illustrates the making of panoramas through a number of example projects.…
