A Panoramic Print Stitches Your Memories into One

Back in the day when photography was a true hobby and equipment was super expensive, there were few people attempting to create a panoramic print. To create a panoramic print, one would have to spend hours in a darkroom overlapping exposures together onto finished photo paper. That’s not the case anymore.

Great Panoramic Prints Are No Longer Out Of Reach

With the evolution of the camera, the ability to create a great panoramic print is well within your reach. Most cameras actually have a panoramic mode that you can use to automatically stick together various photos as you take them. The key to the perfect panoramic print (software or not) is to overlap amply.


Tips for Great Panoramic Prints

Of course, there are certain things that you can do in order to enhance your panoramic images.

Use the panoramic mode on your camera (not using this is shooting yourself in the foot; the camera is offering to help—so let it.)

Make sure you keep the camera level (this becomes even more important when you are stitching photos together)

Try to avoid movement in the photo (the blur that is created from movement could ruin what otherwise would have been a great shot)

Don’t Just Go Side To Side (the software available today for sticking images together allows for a much more intriguing panoramic print if you include several layers of images to create a whole image)

Try a Vertical Panorama (there is no need to limit yourself to horizontal panoramas with today’s advanced cameras and software)

A Great Panoramic Print is within Your Reach

You now have the information necessary to create panoramic memories in nearly any situation. Keep an eye out for opportunities to master the craft of taking these images and creating brilliant panoramic prints.
