Botany Bay Panorama

I have been doing Panoramas for the last months, very nontechnically just on a regular tripod and sometimes if the light is good, hand held. This is a big no no with Panoheads and for a real Panorama a Panorama head is the optimal way to go. They are often more expensive than the average tripod so I´ll wait a while with that purchase.
Panoramas are fun and I see potential for exciting things in conjunction with strobes and people.

For one thing Panoramas offer a very large file, which is very good if a project needs to be printed Xtra Large. Another perk with Panoramas is how you can give a truer portrayal of a place. More alike what our eye can see in conjunction with our senses and peripheral vision.

    A non-technical panorama? a couple of images spliced together? What’s a non-technical panorama?

    Það þarf náttúrulega ekkert að segja það lengur að þetta séu fllllottar myndir. Eiginlega bara hálfklikkaðar. Rauði liturinn í rekaviðnum dregur fram þann græna í trjánum. Er hann satúreraður eitthvað extra? Svo er lýsingin í grænbrúnbláu myndinni flott frá vinstri til hægri (eða öfugt ef þú ert í þannig skapi). Kemur auksdýpt með henni.

    Eftir á að hyggja er sú efri hálfklikkuð. Sú neðri er bara róleg og yfirveguð ;)

    Nice panoramas, Snorri. They really do give the sense of the peripheral.

    Wicked one of Port Renfrew Snorri, I like the the bird in the top centre.

    Great shots!! With good lighting and steady hands panoramas are always possible. Some places might not allot tripods so that would be the only way to go. Panorama heads are pretty expensive but the results are great.
