The Future

Panoramic Photography

Whilst we were visiting Mount Edgcumbe, I had time to experiment and have a go at making my own panoramas, something which I had never had a go at before. The landscape around Mount Edgcumbe, was the perfect place to shoot! A panoramic image closely matches our own view of the world, so it’s a very natural way to photograph the landscape. I used my camera to take a series of overlapping shots, which I then stitched together using Photoshop. I had to use manual exposure, manual white balance and manual focus so that each frame blended seamlessly with the others.

To create these images, I took around twenty images with a 30% overlap using my camera, which I kept on a tripod, shooting from my left to the right. When I got back to college, I then imported the raw images for processing, made adjustments to one image and then synced with the others. I then used Photoshop to stitch my images together and this was my outcome.
