Panoramas
Since moving to Devon, I’ve been inspired by the landscapes and the beaches and this has reignited my landscape photography. I’ve now started to take this one step further. The landscape is so amazing it needs more than just a 6×4 ratio photo.
When I visited a part of Dartmoor back in February I took my first panorama photo for years.
The result was just, WOW, so this panorama was quickly followed by another from a trip to Brentor
Then another in Brixham, of the harbour, which I think worked really well,
As you can see, there is a difference between the top 2 panoramas and the one above. This is purely the orientation of the camera when the photos are taken, IE, landscape, or as in the latter, portrait.
Even a photo of a local cornfield in a panoramic format give it a lot more impact.
A recent trip to Stourhead I knew would produce a great opportunity for a panorama photo. This image is made up from 12 landscape format photos stitched together to great this amazing view of the lake.
Museums are also good places for panoramas as you can’t really get everything into 1 shot. Although lighting can pose a problem, especially if you are not using a tripod.
This is one from the Fleet Air Arm Museum, made from 5 images.
Finally beaches, and what better way to show off their magnificent views!
Now viewing these in this blog post is all well and good, but the size is a bit limiting, so why not view the panoramas page and view them full size.
