a useful tutorial, thanks. I liked the "50% overlap on ultra wide", very helpful. Aren't the leaning outward buildings caused by a slight upward tilt of the camera? On wide angle shots with strong verticals, like buildings or close trees, I use the camera's virtual horizon tool for both side-to-side tilt and up-and-down tilt. That usually keeps the lines vertical. Keeping the camera level isn't always possible from the camera location, though. Editing software can repair the leaning verticals, but it's much better to do it in camera. (oh, and the pronunciation isn't obvious at all: mer KAY ter, not mer ca TOR. from the 1500s, Gerardus Mercator's new map projection method.)
YEs, this does happen, but the City Panorama was taken from a height that didn't require the camera from been titled. I've shown this toi people doing workshop at the beach that if taking a panorama over a very wide area that you'll get this curvature.
Excellent and very interesting video Charles, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for commenting 🙏
This is another very helpful and interesting video - thanks Charles!
Thank you for letting me know that this tutorial helped you understand this often overlooked part of Panorama Photography. 🙏
