[denisknight]

@masternonoy1 The software shown in the video is ArcSoft Panorama Maker Pro. It's quick and easy to use, great for beginners.

i become nowadays easy by CES

[bhingrcj]

i have a little problem with a 360 panorama. when i turn and get face to face with the sun, the rest of the views are darker. what should i do?

[denisknight]

@bhingrcj This will happen if you have your camera set to an automatic exposure mode. You need to lock the exposure on a single setting (use a manual exposure mode). If your camera doesn't have a manual exposure mode, look for a 'Panorama Mode' which some cameras have that will lock in a single exposure for a series of images.

Thanks a lot, I just made my first panoramic with my Canon software. I thought I might need a special lens but this is actually rather easy. Though my canon software will not stitch RAW pictures together.  But it is not hard to set them all up and then have it convert them to Jpeg

[popitn2nd]

would you recommend this when taking on a large group of people with very little of space? people move and their faces make new impression. how do you sticht them of fix them?

[denisknight]

@popitn2nd It can be a very effective technique for group photos. One of the examples in my book is a group photo from a birthday party with over 40 people. Panorama stitching software can usually do a good job of joining photos when people have moved, especially if it is only a small movement. If you can get people to at least stand still for a minute while you take the pictures, it's usually fine.

Thanks alot for this tutorial! i'll definitely be practicing

[nutzw1]

you'd be amazed of the capabilities of Windows Live Photos

[valipanda]

i use photoshop cs4..... in cs3 does it work too...

its very easy

[crtl9697]

u dint consider, MANY factors.. moreover i can see the sky, to be imperfect... also you were lucky to have much static subjects..

OK.. but not the perfect way to do it.

[denisknight]

Those are fair comments. But this is a quick 3 minute introduction to a technique that I assume is new to people watching the video. I can't go into full details here about shooting techniques or manual adjustments to the stitching process to fix any imperfections. But all that and more is covered in my panoramic photography book which is mentioned in the video.

[joannacongson]

you can also do it on photoshop.. but you need efforts..:)

[romeo4play]

Thanks for introducing this tool and the tricks to shoot panorama photos.. i almost bought an expensive wide angle lens :)...

[kristellrose]

cool thanks

[luisdeper]

You shouldn't take the photos with white balance set to auto, you should try and "read" the lighting and try to set a fixed white balance, like "daylight" for example. Otherwise each photo wil look different and it will show in your stitched panorama

[denisknight]

Yes, that's true. An automatic white balance setting can cause variations in color between frames which can result in visible seams between photos. But in practice if you are outdoors you would rarely need to worry about this. It's more important when shooting indoors.

[Eugenefotografie]

Always shoot in RAW! Then it isn't a problem to change the white balance afterwards. Also other adjustments are more secure when shooting Raw.

[denisknight]

RAW mode is not something I'd recommend for beginners. It's more for professionals. But as you say, it can have advantages if you know what you're doing.

[sharyharan]

@denisknight hey denis, it's nicely put in short. idk why these people finding tech faults of wb, levelling etc :) the only fault i found was, u took diff 6 shots but u brought another 6 diff shots to your computer :) because the bridge you were standing is in the pic and u did not take those bridge when u started demonstrating. anyways, goodluck. to check out more 360's pls check my website ihariharandotcom

[shonicashufa]

hey thanks soooo much.you're so kind for sharing your knowledge.would love to learn how to take great photos

[muyquik14]

muchas gracias..i loved it im a begginer at photography and this is pretty cool....Saludos

[quack18]

any tips on how to do that same technique but inside a football stadium ??? i tried it , but i found it close to impossible

[denisknight]

I've helped a customer with a pano inside a football stadium. The software was having trouble matching features between frames because there were so many similar repeating features (each block of seats looked the same). To solve it he needed to manually stitch the frames together.

[temanjawa]

Thanks a lot, very interesting, will try it too !

[davidj12356]

Thank You Thank You Thank You!

Your the best! :)

You've instilled in me a new hobby, and trust me, that's difficult!

[mattutubematt]

awesome!

[minoo79]

great tips.. thanks denis for our effort :)

[Banny245]

Thanks alot! I'm going to the Grand Canyon in two months and this technique is a must-know for the photographs I want to take while I am there.
