Panoramas
To Capture the Panorama images:
You’ll need at least two different frames to stitch together to create your panorama, but three to five will give you more to work with, and allow for a much richer image. When capturing these frames make sure to overlap each frame by about 30% or so to allow enough information for the algorithms to match each image with its neighbor.
A few other quick pointers to make it as simple as possible for yourself when you get back to the computer include:
- Use a tripod to line up each shot, or find some way to keep your capture images steady.
- Make your settings consistent: Set your white balance, ISO, aperture and shutter speed as consistency between each frame is extremely important.
- Keep your area of focus consistent through each captured image.
To Create the Panorama:
Import your images to Lightroom
In either Library or Develop, select all the images, then right click and select Photo Merge > Panorama
Adjust the settings and then save your result.
Export ALL your original images, as well as your panorama, and post them–you may want to use a gallery for the initial images, then below place the panorama by itself.
