Panorama ASSIGNMENT                      Top of Page

  • The aesthetics of the panorama is one of the most influential forms of visual display and a popular entertainment format of the twentieth century.
  • Crucial to the concept of understanding a panorama is, understanding the shift from central (or single-point) perspective to the "multi-perspective" of the panorama.
  • Your assignment is to create a composition from one image to another so that the seams are invisible and still maintain a visual interest for the viewer (use design principles).
  • You must shoot at least 60 exposures.
  • Make 2 images (one B&W and one color image)



PURPOSE:Top of Page

  • This project continues with and extends the visual design concepts of the previous assignments. When shooting the panorama, four to five photographs are to be taken of the same scene from different vantage points while standing in one position. In effect you will select (at least) four to five positions to move the camera to, based on the facets and relative positions of objects in the scene, and after shooting assemble the images into one "seamless" image. 
  • Shoot four to five original frames to gather enough images needed for the panorama.
  • Stitch the images together using Photomerge. 
  • Use the Eraser tool, Cloning tools, color matching tools and Layer Masks to blend the seams together.
