Mike recommends selling canvas or metal panoramic prints because it eliminates the need for custom frames. I then double-check for any inconsistencies, flatten the layers, save it as a TIFF, and import it into Lightroom to begin my basic edits. I continue that process until I have a seamless panorama. I typically look for where any distortion on the top layer ends so that eventually both layers look exactly the same. From there, I start with the top layer, apply a layer mask, and begin masking out that 25-50% which exposes the underlying layer. Once they’re all in making a rough panorama, I’ll zoom in at 100% to accurately line them up, typically on the horizon line, overlapping them roughly 25-50%. With each photo open separately, I take one “end” and expand the canvas space to have plenty of “wiggle room” and begin dropping each photo in as a new layer, roughly overlapping the previous layer. White Balance and Lens Correction are just about the only two things I edit before importing.
Here’s an overview of Mike’s layer masking process:Įach photo is imported into Photoshop through Camera RAW with minimal adjustments made, since I prefer to do my main editing in Lightroom. mountain, lake, forest, etc.) straight will make image stitching exponentially easier. “They allow me to do a quick pan of a potential panorama and see in real-time if the camera is straight or not,” says Mike. Mike recommends the Canon 7D for shooting panoramas, but any camera with a built-in level with do. “I typically shoot a panorama if all the elements I’m trying to work with don’t fit exactly into a standard frame.” Use a camera with built-in level “Sometimes, the standard rectangle doesn’t represent a landscape’s features at its best,” says Mike. Most photos are in a 3:2 or 4:3 rectangular aspect ratio. His “Panoramas” gallery inspired us to learn more. Mike is an experienced wildlife and nature photographer based near Grand Teton National Park and Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where he shoots majestic landscapes on a daily basis.

Buyers will be more interested in the emotional connection they make with the scene, rather than focusing on every little tree or branch.įor more panorama photography tips, we turned to Mike Cavaroc of Free Roaming Photography. You also don’t necessarily need to worry about getting the entire background in super sharp focus. Cityscapes, for example, need a certain amount of precision and special panoramic equipment to prevent distortions.
