1, prepare the camera and equipment to ensure that the camera has panoramic shooting function, or prepare a special panorama camera. Use a wide-angle lens to have a larger viewing angle.
2. Determine the shooting point and use a tripod to keep it stable. Determine the overall range you want to show, and you can use a mobile phone or camera measuring instrument to measure it.
3. Set camera parameters and choose an appropriate exposure mode. Manual mode can be used to control exposure details. Set a smaller aperture height f value to increase the depth of field and ensure that the whole picture is clearly visible. Set the appropriate ISO value and shutter speed to match the scene light conditions.
4. Choose the shooting direction and start shooting from a specific starting point, usually the center of the panorama. Set the camera angle and level according to the selected direction to ensure the shooting level.
5. Take photos according to the selected shooting direction, keep the camera moving horizontally and try to overlap adjacent photos. Lock the focus by manual focusing or autofocus to maintain the consistency of the focus during the whole shooting process.
6. Post-processing: adjust and balance the color, exposure and contrast to ensure the consistency and smoothness of the whole panoramic image. Optionally, appropriate panoramic post-processing methods are used, such as removing deformation or repairing stitching marks.
Matters needing attention in panoramic shooting
1, choose a suitable scene. Panoramic shooting usually requires broad scenes and rich scenery. You can choose mountains, tall buildings in cities, lakes or beaches, depending on the photographer's personal preference. You must use professional panorama camera to take high-quality panoramic photos. In addition to the camera, tripod, level meter and shutter control should be prepared to ensure that the panoramic image taken is clear and correct.
2. Pay attention to the light and weather: Panoramic shooting needs to be shot from multiple angles, and the shooting process may take a long time, so it is best to choose a sunny and stable day to avoid interference from weather changes. At the same time, we need to pay attention to the direction and intensity of light and the choice of golden time.
3, keep level and flat top: Panoramic photos need to be spliced with multiple photos, and the camera should be kept as level as possible when shooting, because if the photos are tilted, it will make the later splicing extremely difficult. When shooting, it is also necessary to ensure that the equipment has a flat-top posture to avoid pixel deformation in the shot photos.
4. Pay attention to shooting overlap: During panoramic shooting, attention should be paid to proper overlapping between adjacent photos to ensure high quality and no seam sticking points in the later spliced photos.
5. Post-processing: Panoramic photos usually need post-processing to optimize the light, color, sharpness and other properties of photos, and you can also use stitching software to stitch multiple photos into a complete panoramic photo.
