In this example, we see very clearly that despite a panoramic ratio height/width identical, these two photos don't embrace the same field of view at all!Īnd finally, it's interesting to note that if you can make a panorama by reframing the photo, we see in this example, taken with a wide-angle 24mm lens in 24x36, that if we reframe the photo in a 1/3 ratio, the geometric distortions are very different of the photo made by stitching numerous pictures, on a field of more than 150° below. So three photos taken with a 17 mm include more than 150 ° for a 1/2,5 ratio while in this same ratio, three photos taken with a 50 mm only include about 75°. If we take a photo with a lens with a very short focal - below 20 mm in 24x36 - and by stitching two or three photos together, the field of view in width will be very important and yet the photo will be in a 1/2 ratio! It all depends on the number of photos stitched but also, and maybe above all, of the field of view embraced by each one of them. ![]() If for certain panoramic photographers, the ratio height/width of the photo is enough to describe a panoramic photography, for others, it also has to include a wide field of view. The ratio 1/7, typical of a 360° panoramic photography shot with a classic 35 mm lens is not only very wide but also more and more usual and very useful as a header for a website for instance. The ratio 1/3, here in a rectilinear geometry as we'll see later, is the most common format in panoramic photography. This was the ratio of the famous film-based panoramic cameras: Fuji 617 or Linhof 617. You can find numerous photo frames in this format, by the way, even at the supermarket. It's the format of numerous panoramas of Philippe Plisson, his son Guillaume or even Yann Arthus-Bertrand. This ratio can of course be longer - 1/3 - and even very much longer in the case of 360°. The field of view doesn't matter too much even if some lovers of this format like it when it's over 120° to at least embrace the angle of human vision which is more or less 140°. When the ratio between height and length of the photo is at least 1/2, we consider it a panoramic photography. From what format can we consider it a panoramic photography? From what field of view? Let's see this in details now.Ī panoramic photography is above all a photo that has a wide format. On this site, I wrote numerous tutorials to learn to stitch photos together to realize a panorama of high quality.īut before learning to stitch photos, which is the purpose of this site, let's try before anything to know what a panoramic photography is. If you needed several panoramic cameras at the time of film-based photography to embrace different fields of view, a simple digital camera is now enough, with the help, it's true, of a panorama software. It can be done by stitching pictures and it's become quite easy to make all sorts of panoramas with this method. Panoramic photography now is, thanks to computer science, very diverse. Through this The guide to panoramic photography, I want to share my passion for this singular image format. Next key points: Panoramic framing and composition If it's just a wide photo, its ratio height/width must be at least 1/2 but the most usual is 1/3.įor others, the embraced field of view must be over the field of view of an extra wide angle like a 14 mm in 24x36 and in a much wider format than this famous and classic 24x36 from our digital cameras. You might have your own definition, by the way. So for some people it's a wide photo, for others it's a wide photo with a wide field of view, a panorama and finally for others it's a virtual tour. I think there's only one consensus: a panoramic photography is a photography of a wide format.īut with virtual tours, this consensus is blown to pieces! Here are the key points you need to have in mind about "what a panoramic photography is." The rest of this page is for those who want to know more. If everyone agrees to say that it's a photo in a wide format, for some people it's also a wide field of view, for others a virtual tour, and of course your own definition. Indeed, panoramic photography is very diverse. Behind this question are hidden multiple realities. ![]()
