Friday, April 4: Landscape Panoramas & Introduction to Final Projects
 |
| Class Panorama from Fall 2013 |
Today we'll learn how to make Landscape Panoramas. Next week we will critique them. You need at least 3 Panoramas printed and posted to your blog by class time next friday, April 11.
TIP: Take the images for one pan and use all the different options available to you in the "photomerge window," as seen here.
Panoramas (the easy way):
Set your camera to fully manual settings. (manual focus, manual exposure).
Turn your camera horizontally. Take a series of images in an approximately 180 degree span, making sure to overlap your images by about 50%. Process them in Lightroom. (You may use lens correction to remove distortion), then export them to Photoshop.
In Photoshop, select the images and go to FILE> AUTOMATE> PHOTO MERGE. Select the files and hit OK. Once Photoshop merges the files, flatten them, make any additional adjustments and crop if needed.
Things to think about: Does the white background work for your image, or would it be better cropped? Does black and white add to the image or would it be stronger in color? How does your image stand up to the others? How many layers did you use? Which are best, and why?
