Dogwood52: week 8: Landscape: Wide Angle/Panorama

So, here I am again with the weekly challenge. This time it is about a great opportunity to explore panorama stitching and create a wide sweeping landscape.

I first tried from the balcony of my office room, played with Photoshop Photo Merge, and decided to use Lightroom to create the panorama – it seems to handle raw files better when it comes to vignetting. Then I started putting a lot of energy and time into this project and asked myself many questions, including about the ratio to use and found out that 3×1 is a good bet because we can find frames using this ratio. All camera settings are manual, including focus and bracketing was enabled to catch different exposures. But you have been warned, the pictures are great (in size) – please download them if you like 😉

And here are some pictures captured while training for the shootings:

The panorama has just started; I will definitely make more, thinking of an album of Luxembourg panoramas.

  1. nice ! I love the grund night panorama and skatepark shots. had no idea there was a merge feature in LR ! :p
    About the “Clutter on the table” pic, do you have a fisheye lens, or is this the result of a merge between several shots ?

  2. Sorry I’ve been busy cycling and taking pictures 🙂 I went to the next level and acquired a software called PTGui which I find awesome. More posts will follow…. The clutter, it’s a merge also.
