Landscape Photography - HOW TO SHOOT PANORAMAS 

Thanks very much. I was TIRED when i shot this. Trying to do too much on an already busy photo trip! Thanks for your interaction and feedback though! = ) Ewan

Hi Leo, yes it has saved me hours of headscratching quite a few times. You would do the same with a focus stack too.Thanks for watching. Regards, Ewan

Many thanks Peter. Thats a lovely thing to say. Humbled. Kind regards from NZ. Ewan

Thanks very much indeed. Yes, I think it adds to the image, particularly when it is printed large. I have printed the 'artist's proof at 1.8m on this image, and it's fabulous to see framed, and hung properly. Thanks again. Ewan

It surely was a special shoot that morning. Many thanks for your feedback. Much appreciated. Regards Ewan

Hi Steve - Many thanks indeed. Approciate you taking the time to provide feedback. Kind regards, Ewan

Cheers Paul. We will try and catch up soon... Maybe even this week. E

LOL, thats all good. I do the same whenever (if) i ever focus stack etc too. Speeds up the post process and reduces headscratching! Kind regards, Ewan

Many thanks. Thats awesome and no one ever stops learning i reckon! kind regards, Ewan

Hey Christopher. LOl - yes = ) I think you are right that when you shoot with nothing to converge... there is no need to the middle to far distances. The close up foreground type shooting with wider angles defeats my output purposes for doing them and moreover when you try multi row with wider lenses, with or without a focus stack!- Oh my! Hope you are well. Thanks for your interaction. Much appreciated. Regards, Ewan

hey Rolf. Thanks very much - and you are welcome! Stay well. Regards, Ewan

Hey Bryan. many thanks mate, and you are more than welcome. I do love the format indeed and have been trying to develop this area for some time. = ) E

Why thank you and thanks again to Simon Booth. We got to know each other after me talking him into buying his Pentax 645Z, and we have been great friends ever since! = ) Hope you enjoy the other vids as well. Ill get more content done some time soon !

Thanks very much Judge Rivers. Much appreciated. Regards, Ewan

Thanks All Thumbs. Doing it I thought i was droning on a bit. Im glad it hit the mark, and thank you very much! Regards Ewan

Thanks for your interaction and comment here. I often do joining of frames left to righbut also right to left (dependant on what is going on in the frame to facilitate movement within frame for joining purposes. I havent really run into the issues you had previously as I overlap with sufficient data (50%) Thanks again, and best regards, Ewan

Many thanks indeed. Kind comments and good to have you along for the journey! Regards, Ewan

Hey NIgel. I appreciate you saying that. It has taken me a few videos to settle into my rhythm. Happy times. Thanks again! Ewan

Thanks John - I am very blessed indeed! Hope this whole COVID passes soon. E

Thanks Andrew. Appreciated mate! Ewan

Hi Steve. Thanks very much. You are of course more than welcome. Love em! E

Hey Alan. Its humbling to think that my little channel can do that. Thats awesome feedback and just the tonic to keep me going with them. Im glad they were able to help you in NZ - what a country huh!? Glad you got some cool shots. Ill maybe see them one time! Regards Ewan

Thanks very much indeed. Shooting above the clouds like this can work out really nice sometimes. Makes the mountains look like they are floating! : ) Regards, Ewan

Thanks John Mel. Theres quite a bit in there right enough, and i tried to make it shorter, but needed it all i think. Kind regards. Ewan = )

Thanks very much Conon. Much appreciated Regards, Ewan

Thanks very much man. Thanks for looking and your encouragement! Regards, Ewan

Hey Ian. Thanks mate. The scenery down that road, is simply... 'incredible' Its a 45 minute drive... which takes hours and hours sometimes. Thanks for your comment. = ). E

Hey John. You can buy them off ebay and not that expensive. I only bought the 300mm nodal rail, as i shoot panos with all range of lenses all the way up to 300mm. They dont need to be that long though! Regards, Ewan

@@EwanDunsmuirImages Thanks Ewan

HI Andy, Thanks very much indeed. Id sure appreciate your multiple views indeed! LOL. Kind regards Ewan

Thanks Fred = ) Hope Orkney was good to you. Let me know how you get on with your pano! = ) Regards Ewan

Many thanks RO = ) Kind regards, Ewan

Hi Chrl M. Thanks veery much indeed, and you are welcome. Hope you find it helpful. Thanks for your interaction and subscription too if course. God hälsa way up there in Sweden. Kind regads, Ewan

Hey Phil. Thanks very much mate! There are many methods avail, and i did heaps of research before i started shopping! = ) Thanks for you support. E

Thanks Nev.. Appreciate that mate. Ill be watching your latest vis later too! = ) Hope you are well! Regards, Ewan

You are welcome Ian. Many thank for the support. Regards, Ewan

Thanks very much Mark. you are welcome! Regards, Ewan

Hey John - Thanks mate. It sure is a stunning place indeed, and Im sure you went last time you were here! Cheers, Ewan

Thanks Ian. The planning of these is all over the place and when i start putting them together - they are pretty organic and change a LOT form first draft. I do pour over the flow and content of them though... which is why it takes me so darned long. Our good friend Simon Booth does get alarmed at the complexity of some of the timelines! LOL Thansk for the comment buddy. Ewan

Thanks Robin. You are welcome! Ewan

Thansk very much Tony. Always appreciate your feedback in interactions! Regards Ewan

Hey Ewan. Thanks very much. Appreciate your support. More on panos soon... Regards Ewan (NZ)

Hi Adrain - very close... Orkney! = ) Thanks for finding my 'boutique little channel' Haha. Yes, in NZ and i only have one video on here that is NOT shot in NZ. Next year though... States, Iceland, Scotland, and maybe Norway. Thanks for your feedback and i hope you enjoy! Kind regards, Ewan

@Ewan Dunsmuir Images - Landscape Photography Ha! Almost... I grew up on Lewis, but I also lived in Thurso and Wick as a child too, so my ear for accents does get a little confused at times! I'm just an amateur photographer with no pretensions to be any more than that, but I do try to take decent photos when I'm out and about climbing, mountaineering and hill walking. This means I do inevitably end up taking panorama shots, so this is what led me here. I've just bought a new camera body so I've been hoovering up tutorials on RU-vid while waiting for the rain to stop so, no doubt, I'll work my way through them all, in time. I've subbed now, regardless. Thanks again for the benefit of your experience.

Hi David. Im well thanks. Getting my ind into the space for doing more content... finally!!! Im gonna start it before a workshop im running in August in the south island. You should come! Trip of a lifrtime. Well be seeing some pretty cool stuff! Hope you and yours are well too! Regards, Ewan

Many Thanks Martin. Really appreciate that = ) These take aaaages to pull together. (they seem to take me ages anyway). Regards Ewan

Many thanks indeed. Much appreciated! Regards, Ewan

Hey Sam and Hannah - It was really lovely to meet you both in NZ, and just so sorry the weather and colliding schedules didnt permit a collaboration of some sort. Looking froward to your next vid of NZ. As I drove around in 'freestyle mode' - i challenged myself to see landscapes in both different and familiar ways. When you start viewing NZ in Pano format... WOW! Thanks for the comment and moreover, that compliment. Its for sale you know! LOL Speak soon. Ewan

You are welcome! Good luck! = )

Many thanks. Im going to do another couple on why Panos and a deeper dive into how (framing and as[ect ratios) soon. Kind regards form NZ. Ewan

A. Thanks Mr S B. I hope i didnt drag on too long. I can take these quite quickly as second nature and its good practice for me to speak out loud to remind myself of whats involved. C. I did. Watch this space... Thanks for the support and the comments Andrew. Regards. E

@@EwanDunsmuirImages B;Section2, Paragraph 4, sub section 3, not too long at all and I'm sure I'll hear C if it happens . As always my pleasure.

Hey James'ss. Many thanks for your interaction mate. Much appreciated. Glad you are getting put and shooting Panos in the highlands...Awesome! Great to have you on board! = ) Regards, Ewan

You are welcome. Thanks for looking and the comment! Regards Ewan

Hey - Thanks very much. You are of course very welcome! = )

You are welcome James. Glad i could help a little = ) regards, Ewan

HI there - thank you very much indeed! I appreciate you taking the time to comment on this tiny little channel! :) Kind regards from NZ. Ewan

Hi keith. Im sorry mate - I have just found a repository with a whole lot of unanswered comments in it. Many thanks. Kind regards Ewan

Thanks very Much Fabrizio. I am learning to relax in front of the camera... eventually! Regards Ewan

@@EwanDunsmuirImages I'm still learning myself :-)

Thanks Guy. That would indeed be a good topic for vid as it would indeed do the same job, but in a more expensive way! LOL. I am currently looking at Hasselblad H6D100C with the HTS1.5 TS adapter which would be incredible. Re the whire solver border around my images. The images that i proce, when finished, carry a three canvas white border which I deliberately apply in PS, to state - "THE IMAGE IS FINISHED" and to not mess around with it at a later date. I generally do all my post on the same day, so as to replicate what i saw as near as I can. I leave the canvases on there mostly, as these are the final images. I leave the white canvas around there for printing, and giving my printer some options for be spoke prints at size. There is sufficient data at 200MP in the images to allow me to go crazy. I appreciate you noticing though and mentioning it. If however you are talking pre export into PS, then yes I agree! I really appreciate your feedback Guy. I m slowly getting onto my groove with the whole Videography thing! = ) Regards, Ewan

Thanks very much indeed. I was in a quandry which thumbnail to use. I have just printed it at 1.5 meters onto Cotton Rag paper, and its a particularly strong image at size. Appreciate you taking the tiem to comment and give feedback! Ewan

I have just found a repository with a whole lot of unanswered comments in it. Sorry for the late reply. Im sorry for the late reply. Thanks for the feedback. Many thanks. Kind regards Ewan

Thanks Richie. Appreciate your support. Regards, Ewan

Hey Brett, Thansk very much. The reason for the black point is on account of your optics being in the middle to far distance, and as you are not grounding the image with foreground interest... you need to find a scene that will have a black point in to to help ground the image and draw the eye in, with out which... the pano is a little lifeless and can be confusing. Hope that ehlps. Thanks very much for the comment. Regards Ewan

Hey Bob, You are welcome, and thanks very much! Ewan

Thanks Eugene - I appreciate your support with it all! All the best. Ewan

Thanks Gary. Thats great but is it just one shot that is cropped. Thats good even if it is, but nce to cram more data in too so you can go pixel peeping at the details. = ) Kind regards Ewan

@@EwanDunsmuirImages it's like 20 shoots combined

@@garybrown9719 - Nice!

HI Barton - thank you very much. The very only reason that you would need ot do vertical would be if you are printing at Curator Standards, very large, and required the data for curator standard print resolution. There arebt many people who do do that so unless you are only pixel peeping (which is fun)... Happy I could shed light on it

Hey Adam 5D - yep you are right about the parallax at middle to far distance. It was never meant to be a VLOG and I just turned the opportunity to showing the 'generals' about Parallax and convergence with Panos. Wherever the subject sits, its a good habit to get into. You will find however that of you apply the nodal point test to a 160mm lens, there is some correction still required (if you were to introduce a foreign subject as your nodal line, if you can overcome the plane of focus/ OOF, albeit very slight. I didn't go into that in the vid, as - as i said, was never mean to be a vid. LOL I was pleased with the images though, the one of them, gaining a National Geographic award, which is always humbling feedback. I printed this one at 17:58 @ 1.8m on the long edge for a gallery recently and i must say - its stunning that big, on nice Cotton Rag to 16BIT and to archival standards = ) I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Kindest regards, wherever in the world you are. Stay well Ewan

@@EwanDunsmuirImages All good mate. I'll look into that 160mm nodal test, never heard anyone mention that before. Congrats on the achievements, your work needs to be seen. All the best from Toronto 🇨🇦

Thanks very much mate - I appreciate that. I have spoken with Simon Booth about you before and i was sure I was already a follower of yours... my bad - now subscribed to you too! Sam and Hannah are a lovely couple recently having met with them in NZ. Cheers man. Ewan

WOW, that would be a gig file once you scanned that! Holy moses. My apologies, for not repsonding sooner. Life is a little frantic recently! Kind regards and good to hear form you. Ewan

Thanks Paul. That was a 'slam the brakes on' in the car moment and had to shoot it. The time lent itself to doing the Pano vlog too which i always wanted to do. I love the landscape after it has poured with rain as you get some real rich drama in the colours, as everything has just been washed. Nice and clean! I could have stood there for hours taking shots as each one was different. I can wait to print one of these at 1.5 - 1.8 m long. = ) Cheers mate. Ewan

Ewan Dunsmuir Images I drove that road once on sunset the tussock was on fire amazing colours those mountains you caught are epic

Hey Simon - All depends on the scene and what the comp dictates. Looking through the website images, which have 'made it' are in the region of 2-2.6:1. I was thinking after the vid that that 4 shot horizontal Pano at 50% overlap on 645 (or 4:3 format) is actually 8:3 ratio. Pretty darned close to 16:7 (Smiling face emoji) I will have to remember that when shooting, as I too - love the 16:7. Thanks for your kind words Simon. Always means a lot. Ill crack the code one day... LOL. Ill begin working on the next one straight away. this will be another weird one for me - when down in the south Island, I tried to challenge myself with shooting in non perfect light. That'll be the topic i reckon. E

@@EwanDunsmuirImages Looking forward to the crap light film already! Crap light is something that photographers moan about all the time, so if you can crack that code first, the second code should crack itself!

Hi William - I am sorry if you have asked this before and i missed. Apologies. I know that Adobe suite is expensive, but it is good, and better value when you use more than just one application. One application which is a free one, is Affinity Photo, but you may have to sacrifice some functionality with it. There is also Capture one - which is incredible, but expensive. It is just one product though which may help! Thanks for asking, and stopping by. Kind regards, Ewan

HI Steve, they need a black point in the image to ground it. Where Panos dont have this black point to do this, they just can appear flat, and need that contrast to make sense of it and give it a focal point of interest. E

Hi Ronald. Thanks for your comment! On top of the ballhead, I have a double clamp and a 300mm nodal slider. Between the base of the tripod and the ball head - in order to be able to level it easily and quickly (important for controlling convergance) , I use a levelling head. this earlier one was by Sunwayfoto but I have changed this for the new Sirui one which is lighter, smaller and stronger. Ill put the links below. I hope this helps!

Hi Max. For my vlogging camera or main rig? The tripod I use for the main set up is actually a component tripod which has a big 'Bowl head configuration as well as the ball head platform. I have never actually contemplated using the fluid head for shooting stills TBH

HI Santino. Thanks very much. The Nodal rail, or slider I have is MENGS 300mm Arca Swiss standard, rail. It is too long for my shorter lenses, but one slider does all of them, whichis fantastic. It doesnt have the cold shoe on top, which some of them have. I prefer not to have this so as to give you full versatility. There are many versions available all of which should be fully compatible with Arca type shoe attachments. There are shorter ones and longer ones (up to 400mm) available on ebay for instance. Link here www.ebay.com/itm/SUNWAYFOTO-DPG-3016R-300mm-Double-Dovetail-Macro-Rail-Arca-RRS-Compatible/202868686008?epid=22012043408&hash=item2f3bea7cb8:g:UWMAAOSwB5NeD5-o Thanks for the interaction! Ewan

That is an idea indeed Lee but i had always (possibly wrongly) assumed that these were to correct more than one axis ' PA (which of course the Multi rows would be). I would still encounter the nodal point error though without the rail as well. It starts getting complicated real quick. LOL. Thanks for your suggestion though - ill have a look and a proper google at them! Ewan = )

@@EwanDunsmuirImages there's nodal ninja, RRS packages that offer dedicated tools for such purposes. The nodal offset distances for horizontal and vertical axis lens calibration for specific lens/focal length. But then, it can really slow you down when taking multiple pano tiles 😀

RRS does have a very good tutorial for determining the optimal nodal distance for any lens/body combo. Search the video tutorials for "no parallax point" by Really Right Stuff and they explain really well. Cheers

@@_LYH_ - Thanks very much. Ill have a look! = )

Hey Roy - Thats a blooming good point which i never covered off. Yes, I do. Because Im shooting at f11 up and the focus plane is in that middle to far distance plane - the focus distance is on one tiny little click back from infintiy which would allow me to capture stars... if i was into that. I do use the longer focal length, on that focal plane to throw objects in the near foreground out of focus to allow the eye to train on the aspects they are meant to... such as this i guess. www.flickr.com/photos/eos1969/37990842314/in/dateposted/ Thanks very much for the question. I appreciate it mate! Regards Ewan

Im sory there - I appear to have missed your comment until now. Apologies! ON a subject that is p;laced far away and there is little 3 dimensional depth... probably not. If in this instance - you identify your hero piece (this case the mountains) - focus on that as nothing performs better with glass than a correctly focused plane of focus. Hope that helps and sorry again for the biiig delay! Ewan

Yes, I saw that the other week. Interesting indeed! Wonder how heavy ist is?

I've had another look but unable to find specs. Also I'm wondering if this might be a scam?

@@jamesss1953 - Nah its a kickstarter. Not in production yet. Need orders for funding before they start making it. Just hoe these projects roll!

@@EwanDunsmuirImages well in that case I could be interested depending on weight and length when closed. Oh and being Scottish, it's cost 🤣. Good to chat

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hnG0wWsXM9A.html is one of the links for a good review and it 1.2kg with payload about 12kg..😊

Hi there. Im well thanks - hope you are well too! I will be back, but i have been involved with some big projects in the last 18 months which has taken my career in a different direction. I have however been planning to prioritise videos again this year, so yes... I will be back at some point in the middle of the year! Thanks for the reach out! Ewan

I usually do use a remote Greg, but yes, the platform is so stable, I could quite easily never use one. Although a couple of these images will end up on the website for sale, if i am shooting specifically for the website, having trekked for hours, i would normally use one (you can see the receiver for it on the top of the cameras hotshoe. This shoot though, was changing all the time and was never intended to be a vlog, i just jumped out at me, as an opportunity and i may have forgotten it in the car! LOL

Hello there. I try to make sure that my images have a black point, or near to a black point as visually (when printing and hanging large panos) your image requires some 'depth to its dynamic range which helps, ground the image visually. As long as your tripopd is level, you can get away with your camera not being on exactly the same plane, as long as you are willing to 'converge correct' or 'puppet warp' in PS during your post processing workflow. Keeping the camera absolutely level is easier, but then you have to shoot at a wider focal length to get the frame you require, and then crop in. Hope that helps! Regards, Ewan

Hey Mike, You can do either I will only do that when i need the vertical real estate or if (by doing this) you shoot with a longer focal length to in closer to get more detail out. Generally, a two shot horizontal pano will equate to a 5 or 6 shot vertical, creating more pixels. The only thing i would ask would be ... why would you need so many pixels. I print up to 2.4m on the mong edge and only need to shoot vertically when my images are printed to this size. Hopr this help? Thanks for your question! = ) Ewan

@EwanDunsmuirImages yes thanks im new at photography and am thinking of playing around with a slider as well.

Yes it does and certainly worthwhile if you are multi rowing your shot, or indeed, with anything with architecture in it. Thanks for the comment! Regards, Ewan

Hey Marcus. Hope you are well. Yes, there are more reasons than just the data, its the maths of the pano format, as well as a starting point for trying multi row shots. Helps with stitching. You would just need to watch any distortion in the wider lenses. Regards, Ewan

@@EwanDunsmuirImages thank you. I only asked as other photographers have said a third is a good amount, would you agree with that sentiment?

@@EwanDunsmuirImages apologies, one more question. Would you know if it's possible to take a panorama with a 400mm lens. Kind regards

Hey@@marcusmurray5440 - you can get away with 30%, less even, but as i say there is more data match with a bigger overlap and hence wont get stretching and introduction of parallax error as much particularly shooting with your 35mm. Try them and see. 5-% has always been my go to as its easy to note your starting point and where your 50% is in frame, should you need it shot it again. There is also the maths of format which ill cover off in another video at some point. Ewan

@@marcusmurray5440 - Absolutely. Not sure what you are shooting with though 4/3s C size FF/ MF? I have done Panos with my 300 on FF which is 240mm FF equiv and they work well. If you are going to try Panos with such a long lens, the detail you are punching in on will be incredible, but for the image to work, you do need shape in your frame to give it some oomph! Let me know how you get on! Ewan

Hi Bobby, ideal, but not necessarily, as long as you are prepared to shoot a touch wider and crop back in with some puppet warp and content aware fill to fix any distortion. Its all pre-calculated when i shoot this way. Hope that helps

Hi there, each lens and each focal length is different, which is why i guess it (1/3 way down lens) There is a way you can actually set your nodal point by doing a test, which i have given you a link for here. My approach is that moving your camera to rotate roughly around the nodal point is still much better than sinply rotating it around the camera body otself. Hope the link helps. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0IS27kdMdOc.html Many thanks, Ewan

HI there - Thanks very much for the comment. Yes, the sound quality is bad, and was caused by a massive bumble bee who was trying to 'mate' with, or get Pollen off of my Rode Micro 'dead cat'. I had both the Rode Wireless go for me as I was some distance form the camera, and also had the Micro Piggy backed on camera to pick up the noise of the river to the left of frame. I only noticed when i was back in the studio, as I was too pre occupied at the time, being eaten by Sand Flies... which Im sure have teeth on their feet! In terms of the cropping, which image?.... Regards Ewan

@@EwanDunsmuirImages : Thanks for the reply, bloody bumble bee, lol. That now make sense with the noise. 17.52 Image , for me I would like more cropped of the top, but when I look back and compare the original and then cropping it, might throw the balance out a bit, but it's all personal to what works for you, and it's a very nice image, you should be very proud of it. Many Thanks for the great video and tips.

Hey there. I used to use GoPro, but Im trying to specifically vlog with longer focal length for viewer narrater proximity and relationship, with older glass without firmware to flatten the colour profile for analogue type grading. I am also trying to make the camera pattern somewhat documentary in style. Thanks for your question. Regards, Ewan

Hey Gregory. It is the 80-160 f4 FA lens for the Pentax 645Z system. Its actually a brilliant lens when you stop it down. Hope that helps mate. = )

@@EwanDunsmuirImages more than 24 thousand dollars, really expensive😂

I agree. It is however a form of slowing the digital process down, as it takes some thought particularly around framing. I hope this is the right medium and image for a a pano Thanks for your feedback and regards. Ewan

Thanks for the comment. yup agree. Always shouldve bought a film Pano camera... but sadly never did. Founf the Fuji clunky and Hassy was just a 35mm, which didnt give me the image quality i needed. Beautiful camera though. The thought of stitching 6x6 503 files into a true vetorama on film, was way too complex for my simple mind and so, sadly... i had to wait for digitisation and cheat a little! = ) Kindest regards, Ewan
