I swung through the action a few times, making sure it was level in all spots. I locked my tripod’s ball head once all was level as I would be using the base swivel where the tripod met the head’s body to turn my panorama. Going into the menus for my camera, I turned on the exposure bracketing and chose one step over exposed and one step under exposed. My settings ended up being 1/100th of a second and f/10.

I did this in Manual mode so the exposure settings would not change. My closest object, besides some ground, was about 15’ away.

Plus my guest on this tour off to my side (who would later be begged, “Please don’t move!” when I shot frames with him in them).
This allowed me, at f/10, to have most of the scene in focus, which was going to include the fence, stupa and distant mountains. I picked a point about 30 feet from me to focus on. Oh yeah, I also set my aperture at this point based on how much depth of field I wanted, doing this in conjunction with picking a focus point not completely to the horizon. I then picked my focus point and locked it (turned off auto focus).

I already know I will set my ISO to 100 for the least amount of noise I can hope for. I start taking some meter readings and figuring out where I want to set my aperture and shutter speed. I have a better idea where it will peek over the peaks. Once the sun was up, the lighting would change and I’d spend many aggravating hours on the computer trying to balance it all out if I didn’t get it in one pass.Ĭamera on the tripod and the sky is getting brighter. I also knew the timing would only allow for one pass. I wanted a tall image and this would allow me to capture more scene. Now with the base of the tripod level, I placed my camera onto it in a vertical orientation. Practice this at home so you don’t waste time in the field learning to get things level (and then become disappointed when back at home crying at your computer screen. This is an important step! If the camera is tilted, the longer your panorama, the less overall useable space you will have when it is leveled and cropped. If not, I would need a little level, like this one. I did this using the back of camera screen level that comes with the Canon 7D. So I set up my tripod and made sure the base was level. I didn’t have the immersion viewer in mind when creating this, just a traditional super wide image for print. My plan was to shoot the scene as a single swatch of panorama. Also important was good stability of the ground so I or my tripod would not slip. Important in this step was to find a location with good visibility that would allow me to see over the roofs, but still capture the stupa in the middle of the village. Scouting your location really helps when timing, as with a sunrise, is critical.Īfter getting myself out of bed and trudging up a small hill to the location, scaring a dzokyo with horns (it’s a cross between a cow and a yak) over a fence in the process, and after avoid his ‘cow pies’ (I’m not romanticizing this process enough, am I?), I set up my camera. I had scouted a likely spot the night before and I had taken nearly this same photo in 2008 while trekking. I knew I needed to be up at least an hour before the sunrise in order to get dressed (it was a bit cold), grab a snack and find my location. The other important piece of equipment was an alarm clock. I had the aid of a number of computer programs:Īdditionally, the hardware I used included: It’s not magic and it’s something you can accomplish. To answer the question, “How did you make that?” I offer this post as instruction. Title: Nepal Himalaya Panorama Exploration The image can be found at this post and a static version is shown here: You will need to click over to my blog to view the immersion panorama described in this demo because DPS does not yet support embedding the SWF file type. Take a look at this tutorial if you are curious for a step by step on creating your own immersion panoramas. This method is more practical for those of us without fisheye lenses. I took their methodologies and applied them to some of my own panoramas, which do not cover 360 degrees all around. Here’s a good case for mixing them together.Īs you say previous on the Q&A with Uncornered Market, creating panorama’s can create some amazing images. Have I mentioned how much I love photography and technology.
