@paulduckworth1121 3 года назад

Great episode - looking forwards to part 2 One tip I learned from another photographer is that after the last shot in the series stick your hand over the lens to take a "blank" shot. This makes it much easier to see where one pano ends and the next set of images start (unless the next shot is dramatically different of course).

@PhotographyOnline 3 года назад

Thanks Paul. Hopefully others will learn from your tip here.

@wibbley1 3 года назад

@@PhotographyOnline I take the first photo of my finger, pointing in the direction of the pan & the last photo pointing back. Makes finding the group of photos easier when editing. Digital of course, would not waste precious film doing this :o)

@gilbert2872 3 года назад

Marcus, the steam train shot is not only possible to do as a stitched pano but actually suprisingly easy: you shoot the train first and then add the rest of the frames. And a decent stitching software takes care of all the masking etc. Of course, the moving subject has to fit within a single frame. If it is a longish subject, you can can shoot in the landscape orientation and/or even use a wider lens, both of which are discouraged in the video (for a good reason) but can be exploited in the right situation.

@PhotographyOnline 3 года назад

I disagree Gilbert. Firstly the train takes up a lot of the horizontal frame, meaning that you would only be able to get 3 landscape shots to stitch together. Once you account for the overlap, then it becomes hardly worth it. Secondly, if you do what you suggest and take the shot either side before or after the train passes then the chances are that the light would have changed (it was contstantly changing) between shots. Sure it is possible, but the result wouldn't be benefical to shooting in a single frame. (Marcus)

@gilbert2872 3 года назад

@@PhotographyOnline Thanks for the reply, highly appreciated. Looking at the photo one more time (I remembered the train being much shorter, it must have been the steam), I do admit this is not the best candidate for a stitched pano. I’ve done stitched panos with moving things but they were shorter. However, the point I tried (and failed :)) to make was: as long as your moving subject fits within a single frame, you’te good to go because the rest of the shots is taken the usual way with the usual amount of overlapping and the software does the masking for you. It basically stitches a pano a pastes the train/car/people from that one shot into the result. And yes, it might not sound worth the hassle but if you don’t own a dedicated pano camera or a camera with some insane megapixels (where cropping is still acceptable), it’s the only way to go.

@alanmorton1370 3 года назад

That was truly superb. I loved the shoot at Glenfinnan - I never knew there was so much to consider just photographing the steam train (humidity especially) never mind the issues specific to panoramic shooting. The tutorial on panning/stitching was excellent and I would maybe add one small thing: when photographing panoramics in this way, I would always include markers for the beginning and end eg a clenched fist with the thumb pointing into the frame area - it makes identifying the panorama frames so much easier in Lightroom, especially if you are shooting a lot of other images at the same time. Thank you for an excellent series.

@frankdecock2735 3 года назад

I was kind of expecting Nick to use a slider and talk about the lens entry point, aka nodal point or no-parallax point. Ok, I'm aware that Photoshop and Lightroom actually don't mind some parallax distortion, especially if using a small number of exposures in a stitch. But I do find that the quality of the stitch is better if you use exposures taken with the lens rotating above its entry point... Also, levelling the platform the lens rotates on - the tripod head - is more important than levelling the tripod itself. Agreed, it all takes up a fair amount of time before you get to shoot a single shot... but it works.

@PhotographyOnline 3 года назад

Hi Frank. It makes absolutely no difference in the situation which we had in that video - where everything is at infinity. Nodal heads are not necessary these days unless you have foreground and background subjects which need to align. We didn't think it was worth complicating the issue. Hope you enjoyed it anyway.

@frankdecock2735 3 года назад

@@PhotographyOnline True, there were no prominent details in the foreground in the scene Nick showed us. But when there are, things are a lot easier when using a nodal head.

Stunning photography with a superb Master Class on using the Fuji 617 pano camera at glenfinnan but please can I ask two follow up questions: 1. What is the purpose of rails sticking out each side of lens? 2. Where / how do you get the film processed and printed?

@PhotographyOnline 3 года назад

Hi Locharl. Thanks for your questions. The rails around the lens are simply for protection against knocks and bumps. The lens assembly is quite fragile and this camera was designed for use in extreme environments, so Fuji put some protection around the lenses. They have done this with several of their cameras in the past too. You can get the film processed in many places, but I do it myself at home. It's easy to do and only takes 30 minutes. If you send it off to get processed then it takes a few days. We cover home developing and scanning in our previous shows (June and July 2020) so check these out. Thanks for watching.

An excellent episode as I love shooting panoramas. I loved Harry's part about triptychs which is something new for me. - I somewhat disagree with him that they are easier than panoramas. Maybe they are easier when it comes to technique but the challenge of choice of subjects/images to include, I find much harder than 'going through the motions' of setting up my tripod for a panorama and 'following the recipe' in LrC + Ps. - Anyway, triptychs are something I need to give a go. And of course if I could afford the Fuji 617. I love it in every episode that Markus brings it out.

What a great episode!! Oh man, if Hasselblad or Fuji would put out a new "Xpan" digital I'd be first in line for it. Heck, I wish they'd come out with a 35mm film version of the old one, but this time do it fully mechanical. While a light meter would be nice, I'd be fine without out. You know..Leica isn't adverse to doing niche cameras (digital monochrome only anyone?)...I wonder if they'd do it. The only fear is they might not make a true digital sensor the full size of 2x 35mm frames. That would be the holy grail to me. If they'd just give the nod they were doing it, I'd start saving NOW.

Great show as always. It would be interesting to show us how to create a triptych in Photoshop...

@PhotographyOnline 3 года назад

Hi TdWExcel. It's very easy to do in PS and we think most people will know how to do that, but if you were actually printing the triptych then you would print 3 individual images and wouldn't need to prepare them as a single image in PS anyway. The only reason to do it in PS is to see how they work together before printing. However, so you can give it a go, simply open the three images you want to use into PS and then go to FILE - NEW and select the canvas size you want for all three images. Then cut and paste each image onto the canvas and then size as desired by using the MOVE tool. Once you are happy with the position, save as a PSD (in case you want to change anything later) and then save as a high quality jpeg. Hope that makes sense.

@hyohakusha74 3 года назад

Very interesting episode. Loved the idea of making triptychs, I'll have to try that sometime. I have a question though. I saw that the Fuji requires focusing before loading the film. If you're planning to take pictures in different situations with the same roll, how do you manage to focus then?

@PhotographyOnline 3 года назад

Hi Hector. You only get 4 exposures per roll, so a majority of the time the entire roll is shot on the same scene. If using the 90mm lens then it is easy to estimate the focus accurately. If using the 180mm or 300mm then it becomes difficult unless you are focusing at infinity (which is often the case with those lenses). Hope this helps.

@stefaneichholzer4722 3 года назад

Thank you very much for the great show. Great - once again! I was a little surprised not to hear anything about the nodal point, though. Do you think knowledge about it is not important for creating panoramic photos? Would be happy to learn something about this in the next episode, especially how to find the nodal point on my lens.

@PhotographyOnline 3 года назад

Hi Stefan. Very few people use the nodal point anymore as modern stitching software is good enough without having to worry about this. It is only necessary when atttempting to align near and far subjects. In our example, everything was at infinity, and this is the case with most landscape panoramic images.

Question... as I understand it, if you're shooting pano in digital, the camera records the image in it's native format (say 3 X 2) and then masks the image to present the pano format... but all the data is still there, and recoverable... I think. So is it the same to simply take the shot in native format and then crop to letterbox in post? Thanks, Jack PS... your panoramic photos from around the world are simply stunning and certain to help break any creative slump. :-)

Hi Jack. Yes you are correct. Any camera which crops the image in the menu will usually record the whole image anyway and just disregard the extra pixels, but these should be recoverable if needed. This is discussed in our interview with Hasselblad in part 2 of the show, out in a couple of weeks.

Excellent show again, great content and production quality. I shall “big you up” on FB. I loved my film span so fingers crossed here and looking forward to part two 😀

I realise this is just a quick introduction, But I would have liked to see something about how distance from an object to the film plane creates much of the "distortion" in panoramas.

@PhotographyOnline 3 года назад

Hi. We are not sure what you mean by distortion? There shouldn’t be any more distortion in a panorama than in any other image.

@ltlbuddha 3 года назад

@@PhotographyOnline This is true, sort of. For instance, if one is shooting a scene that has horizontal elements close* to the camera, those elements will appear horizontal in a single shot. However, when stitched together in a panorama, they will appear to curve, forming a shallow U. This is something a person not familiar with panoramas or fisheye lenses might not understand. *Such as a surf line or a pavement

Hello and brilliant videos...what would the film camera`s resolution be "equivalent" to and do you scan them to convert to digital ?

@PhotographyOnline 8 месяцев назад

Hi. The GX617 film camera would be equivalent to around a 1 gigapixel (1000 mega pixels) if it’s drum scanned. If it’s flat bed scanned then it may only be around 700 mega pixels, but it’s not easy to do a direct comparison as there are many variables. Thanks for watching.

To Marcus.....In order to change lenses mid roll on your Fuji 6x17.......could a changing bag be utilized?

@PhotographyOnline 3 года назад

Hi Terry. Yes but you would need a tent in order to get two lenses and that camera inside, but theoretically it could be done.

Another good video , may i ask you which do you think is better a 100mg fuji camera taking a landscape photo or would a 30mg camera taking a 7 shot pano which would give you better detail taken with a vey good lens of course?.

@PhotographyOnline 3 года назад

I assume you mean “mb” rather than “mg”? If so, then it totally depends on the situation. If the scene is not moving then a stitch will potentially give you a bigger file but if your scene is moving then stitching will be difficult.

@wellwhatthen10101 3 года назад

@@PhotographyOnline Forgive my mistake yes i mean mb for moving subjects i should imagine that it would be a total nightmare trying to stich a 7 shot pano if there is motion. As for just a general landscape shoot then a 5 or 7 shot would or should contain more information making for a better file.

Great video. At 3:44 which Lens were you demonstrating with ?

@PhotographyOnline 3 года назад

Hi Michael. I am not sure which part you mean because at 3:44 we are using the Sigma 50mm lens on the Canon, but maybe you didn’t mean that part? (Marcus)

@michaelcarvalho3796 3 года назад

@@PhotographyOnline I meant that part only, which is at the start of the Video. On a seperate note Would the Tokina Opera F2.8 mm lens be a good choice too? I usually shoot my Panoramas with a Samyang 12 mm F2.8 lens.

@PhotographyOnline 3 года назад

Hi Michael. The brand of the lens is irrelevant - it’s the focal length which is important. 12mm is far too wide for panoramas as it will stretch the image at the sides.
