PANORAMIC

Panoramic: is a format of photography that aims to create images with exceptionally wide fields of view.

INTRODUCTION:
You are to shoot a roll on panoramic images. Since your camera is not a panoramic camera, you are to take 5 – 6 images to create one panoramic image. Your subject can range from landscape, cityscape, seascape, anything that can create an interesting composition.

OBJECTIVES:
1. Elements of Art : Line, Shape, Texture, Space
2. Design Principles : Balance, Contrast, Emphasis, Pattern, Rhythm, Movement

WHAT TO DO:
1. Shoot 5 – 6 images (or more if needed) to create a panoramic image. If you are shooting vertical, you will need more to maintain the panoramic format.
2. Keep in mind your elements of art and design principles.
3. Pay attention to lighting. Time of day that you are shooting. METER EVERY TIME!!
4. When shooting a set:

• Do not change the zoom or tilt your camera. 
• Do not change your aperture. Keep the same aperture in your set.
• Do not change your focus. If you use auto focus, flip your focus to manual.
