2/12/2018 0 Comments Photoshop 3 ~ PanoramicsThis assignment focused on capturing expanded shots of our surroundings: panoramics. I took anywhere from 3-6 successive shots of an area, panning horizontally and overlapping each by about 35%. Throughout the entire process, I attempted to ensure that exposure/zoom settings, as well as the camera's perspective, were held constant. Once all photos had been taken, they were inserted into Photoshop and stitched together via the PhotoMerge tool. My "Top 2" results can be seen above, while three other attempts can be seen below. Overall, this assignment was frustrating. It involved a great deal of trial and error. There weren't tripods available, and trying to keep my hands perfectly steady was difficult. More often than not, my arms slipped, causing the camera's perspective to shift slightly out of whack; although this seemed insignificant at the time, it did skew final products. Overlapping the images, even with the grid lines as a guide, was also a challenge. On my first 4 tries, PhotoMerge spit back an error message : "Edges could not be aligned, and stitching could not be completed." Even when the pictures could be stitched, the panoramic's edges were still warped -- I had to crop each one by a fair amount to try and fix the issue. If I ever decide to shoot panoramics again, I will definitely use a tripod/solid base to keep the camera level.
