Panoramas

Panoramas:

There can be so much to fit into one single photo. It may be your memory of the holiday, the scene from your hotel window, the view from that lovely picnic that you had when it was just you and the landscape, the day the sun shone on the right building at the right time, and so on.

But how can you fit it all into one single image? Well of course the answer is don't - instead take several photos and then stitch them together on the computer later. So all the images on this page are multiple image panoramas - some may only be two or three images stitched together, while my GigaPans (shown here) have ranged up to 704 images in total! Ideally you will use a tripod to help ensure the perfect panorama, but most of the panoramas shown on this webpage were handheld.

Panoramas don't however just have to be of landscapes or townscapes - you can use them for taking details and close-ups of objects, which are too close for you to fit into just one image. So the photograph of the German Tornado ECR (bottom right) is actually a panorama made up of 10 images, and the original is a 27 MegaPixel image, 142cm.x 54cm. (56"x21") in size!
