Produce two panoramas for web distribution using a camera with tripod and photoshop for editing and stitching together. The two photographs should be taken myself and have a theme.
Panoramic photography is the area of photography dedicated to taking pictures with a wide field of view, you can purchase fixed panoramic lens to take these shots, the lens is long and rectangular. Skilled photographers can take a 360-degree panoramic picture. (VR Photography), these are then edited on photoshop and stitched together to then make one picture.
My theme for the Panoramic photographs is open space. This is why I chose to shoot The Level in Brighton and The church area near the north lanes Brighton. Both locations have a nice open space with alot going on around the area. The level had a small fair taking place whilst i shot my pictures, this made it difficult to edit in photoshop. I enjoyed shooting the level and editing it however i had a few problems one of the problems i had with the level is the tripod I used. When spinning the camera around my tripod moved slightly each time, therefore when I open the pictures up in layers on photoshop the picture wasn’t straight and i had to crop the picture. I learnt from my mistake and this didn’t happen so much with the church garden. Another problem i encountered was the changes in light from the sun. My pictures were very contrasting in lightness and darkness, which made it very difficult to match the entire picture together in contrast. With also limited photoshop experience these techniques were increasingly difficult. I did enjoy the project however and i learnt many new techniques of which I can now apply to other projects and assignments I get set.
