Thanks - both are relatively cheap too What I forgot to mention was that you can also get a custom frame made for the laminated version - it can just drop into the frame - needs no glass or additional protection
Hi Keith, according to your videos on EPSON P900 I printed a panoramic on 17'' roll paper from FARBENWERK photo high gloss. 40cm x 160cm. The image was taken by my daughter with an IPhone (3760x16382 pixel). I made some small adjustments and printed it with EPSON Print Layout. Now its framed and mounted over the working desk in their office. Thank you for all your thoughts and ideas to try and do that by myself. Regards HaJo
Hi Keith, thanks for the video. My question is a bit off-topic, but how did you get the waves to "line up" while making multiple images for that pano? It seems like you would encounter waves moving as you moved the camera from image-to-image, resulting in waves overlapping each other. Thanks!
Thanks One thing is to shoot hand-held and relatively quickly, panning the camera in the direction the waves are moving. Lastly - Photoshop - going over the resulting image and looking for a few residual stitching errors. I still use my copy of Autopano Giga 4.4 for stitching, and it handles blending very well. [Great software but unfortunately killed off by corporate greed - thanks a bundle DJI]
Hi Keith, thanks for all your videos! I would be interested in general in the process after printing - framing. How do you choose a frame and how do you decide for a particular layout? Do you use some ready-made frames or do you design frames tailored to the photographs? What are the options? It would be great if you one day make a video on framing :)
Thanks, but I just don't do it often enough. Frames are chosen by the client [commercial prints] or my wife - prints at home. I get the frames from a commercial frame maker at whatever size needed. So, custom size.
Very interesting, like to learn more about stretching/framing canvas prints as I am just starting to print on canvas with my ET-8550. So far very pleased.
Thanks Have you seen this on Canvas and the 8550? ua-cam.com/video/ylXC7K1k1Q0/v-deo.html All 8550 stuff is linked from: www.northlight-images.co.uk/epson-et-8550-printer-review/
Keith, I had never really considered printing a panorama on canvas; I usually think of images on canvas as smaller and sold by wedding photographers and the like so that was interesting. It is rather remarkable how well Photoshop or one of the purpose-built stitching programs put together handheld panoramas. I often will shoot a series of hand-held images across a view as an afterthought and end up with a nice panorama image. I have been looking into getting a pano rig for multi-row panoramas to end up with the equivalent of a higher-resolution image as opposed to just panning across a scene, which is not really higher resolution, just a bigger image. If you do any videos on panoramas, perhaps you can address both techniques.
Perhaps I need to re-visit this? ;-) A 14 metre one - made long before I started doing videos www.northlight-images.co.uk/making-a-14-metre-photographic-print/
Hi Keith, I always enjoy your videos. Regarding your stitching technique -- how did you cope with a moving target i.e. the wave movement between each shot? Any specific technique or just patience and a clone tool. John.
Thanks Hand held, fully manual, a fast shutter speed and panning in the direction of the waves. i.e. starting at the right and panning to the left for this one. Taking two or three sets of images and yes, carefully going over the stitched image looking for stitching errors to 'fix' For none of these prints did I have a tripod with me ;-)
It appears from the iPhone close up, you can see some banding, but as you say, from the correct/intended viewing distance, it look fab. I'm probably a stick in the mud here, I am still using a Fuji G617 for my Panorama shots. Ok, it's slow/precise work, as you only have a few frames per roll, not much room to bracket, you have got to get the exposure right/place ND grads properly. Then the wait to see if you did it right. When you do, it beats the digital stitch method, zero banding, particularly for subjects were you are dealing with movement. Often I will shoot a digital version alongside G617 at the same time,. In truth, depending on the subject, you often get similar results, except of course you have a wonderful 6x17cm tranny to look at on the Lightbox. I scan the 617 film on a flextight and get a look I love. Great tips on the canvas finish, I need to put more thought into how I print. Thanks for making the video.
The print has no banding! ...well spotted though - the banding is entirely from the LED light barn doors when I shot the phone pics - it's purely a lighting artefact ;-) These are shots very much taken 'on the move' - I usually only take a tripod with me on paying work ;-)
Love the composition.
Thanks!
Interesting and helpful video Keith. I’ve not printed panoramas yet and this is a couple of great ideas for displaying them.
Thanks - both are relatively cheap too

@@KeithCooper Yes, that is what got me started. Thank you for that.
Hi Keith, does the Epson 8550 print panorama size?
Thanks

I'll have a look at panoramics from a making them POV in a bit...
