Panoramic photography

Panoramic photography is a technique of photography, using specialized equipment or software, that captures images with elongated fields of view. An image showing a field of view approximating, or greater than, that of the human eye – about 160° by 75° – may be termed panoramic.

panoramic image is created by photographing a series of images, moving from left to right (or vice versa) of a subject. It is mostly used in landscape photography as it provides more detail to the photography. Before the digital era, photographers usually stitch the photos manually to create a single panoramic art. Nowadays, with progressing technology in photography, there are many softwares that allows one to create their panoramic images with a single click.

This video is one of the best tutorial that I have found on the net about panoramic photography.


And here are the end result on a series of panoramic photographs.
