I'm still learning more and more about panoramas but I love to make them. I have a 12-40mm f2.8 pro and a 40-150mm f2.8 pro. Most of my panoramas are more towards the 12mm side of the range but I have tried the 40-150mm once. Sometimes I have problems not getting enough sky into the shot for the panorama but it is a learning experience. About 6 to 8 months ago I found out that my software will do panoramas from movies. This has worked very well for me but now I need to see what I can do with a longer lens. I plan on going to Jackson Hole next year but a little earlier than you. I can't stand the cold weather. Thanks Lee for your videos they are enjoyable to watch.
I went and did some practice panoramas after watching this video. The long lens picture you did of the Tetons was done at 31mm for an Olympus camera. I could use my 12-40mm for that scene. My practice panoramas here were with 7mm, 40mm, and 150mm. The 7mm is interesting as making a pano from a movie is fast and easy. I think this might be something to try for up close panoramas. The 12-40mm I do the movie held in portrait orientation and they are sometimes a bit more work in the software. The 40-150mm I'll have to practice more but I think a tripod for sure and multi-row panoramas. Now I just need to go out and take some picture.
Duane, so glad they are helping! Make sure to shoot at least 25% extra around the edges of yoru desired image so you don't clip desired coverage! Thanks for commenting!
The perspective is definitely a question of focal length. Thank you very much for your explanations on this topic (it can be misunderstood). jJust one regret, I would have really liked some advice on the realization of the panorama (eg how to manage lighting, sun, varying from one side to the other) as well as on the effective software according to you to do the assembly of images.
Thanks for watching and commenting! We can't do EVERYTHING in one video or you would never have to watch again! Hahahahah, ;) Stay tuned, I assure you, I will quench that thirst over time!
Hi Lee. Another great video. How about a hi res shot where one would crop the unnecessary sky or foreground? I hate changing lenses in the field and I own the 8-25 f/4 and the 12-100 f/4.
You can do that, but you aren't changing your perspective. The compression with the longer focal length is what will help immerse the viewer in the scene. Does that make sense?
One of the first clip of yours I watched here, you mentioned the use of mild telephoto for grand scenes. It got me thinking, and just recently I tried it on some gorges around Armidale (NSW, Australia). The difference it made to how it immersed me into the vista was remarkable. I took around 8 images across in a panorama and then something like 5 changes in camera elevation angle. It was a bit tricky, but for the most part, I think I got there. Lr did a sterling job stitching them all together. I didn't take as much time with it because it was just an experiment (and I had an impatient spouse who isn't always tolerant of my addiction) but next time I'll make sure I have a little more freedom. And I'm going to give it a whirl on seascapes next year. But I note your words about deciding what I want to achieve, and shall bear them in mind. Thanks for adding a new dimension to my photography, in more ways than one.
Wow, these kind of comments make the hard work of doing these videos SO WORTH IT! If you post on social media, tag me so I can see! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@leehoyphotography I surely will, once I've finished the editing (though I'm fairly inept at it, I usually get there in the end). I'll add the finished image to my Flickr account. And I'm very grateful for the effort you put into these clips.
Unless I have a very strong foreground, Im shooting the panorama. The 45mm f1.2 is an amazing lens for this purpose. Focus stack the crap out of it and crop 65:24. You can make some amazing images this way.
I use the Atoll D on my landscape body. I don't use L brackets as much as I once did since I got the Atoll. The ones I have used in the past were from Really Right Stuff.

Your comments and advice are so true. Well done, as always! I love the M Zuiko 12-100 mm lens, for exactly the reasons you describe.
Thank you so much James! Thanks for watching sir!
Great advice. I love your shirt.
Thanks David, much appreciated on both things!

@@leehoyphotography Good point! I guess I'll have to try it.

I will also allow an impressive sky to carry an image and not utilize a foreground element! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Do you use an LBracket on your cameras? If so w
From where? 😂
