Hey guys,

Sure, why not! I can't speak for everybody, but this could be fun. Panoramic as the theme or a panoramic shot of the subject?

Trevor is in Ontario right now and asked me to post up his panorama for him......

[Baatfam]

Well, I will try and get out do this, somehow...depending on the weather, of course.

I've done a few panoramas, but not being a fan, it's not something I am real experienced with.

I'll have to find the instructions for my camera and see how to do it....

Of course the development time for the film really cramps my timeline here....

Okay? With the sample pic being a pano? Sure.
Okay? With the subject-theme-catagory being a pano? Ah, that pretty much assumes smart phone or fairly good digital camera. But I suppose that doesnt eliminate too many folks.
I have done a few pano shots to include all of a scene, and was not happy with the distortion, didnt really show what I was seeing, so havent done it much. Have found other ways to show the scene. So I have only a few pano shots. But can be fun to see what others have done.

show us a cool panoramic shot. I don’t think it needs to anything other than that.

Well anything that can take a picture will work, (and yes, even my 1955 camera would work), but you need the software to put it together. Windows paint won't do it.

And I agree we need a little clarification on the theme....

A panorama is stitched together photos as far as I know but I'm sure an extreme wide angle will do as well. Good chance for me to try out the 20mm lens I bought a few years ago and still haven't taken out of the box.....

My grandfather showed me (when I was a young teenager) a panographic photo of his boot camp (or something) from World War 1 (The Great War, before knew had to number them), and he showed me his buddy in the picture twice. Apparently this guy knew that when they had them line up along the circle on the field for the picture what was going to happen, so after the camera went past him he ducked down and ran to the other end and stood up on that end, so he showed up in the picture twice. I did not understand that at all when my grandpa told me that, I didnt know if he was joking or what. So I dis some study of panographic photos (you know, look up the subject on the cards in the file in the libary, dewey decimal, then go find a book an a shelf).
In those old camears that turned on a tripod, the film would be pulled thru the camera while it turned. It didnt have a round aperture opening/shutter, but had a slit for a aperture to expose just a narrow vertical slit.
Okay. Now I am a boring old guy, yacking about some fact nobody asked about.
But anyway, with that undeerstanding, it made it easier to understand how a digital camera can produce the pano image.

I use PTGui. There is a trial version you can try for free { or download the full version off Piratebay if you don't care like me } I'm pretty sure Canon's Photostitch is free as well though it isn't as sophisticated as PTGui. Just make sure you switch the camera to manual so the photos you stitch together have the same exposure settings........

I've got one camera that will do them internally, and several programs that will do it. Lightroom, Photoshop Elements, and Affinity Photo (I think).
But, I don't have anything on hand, because they don't interest me. Hopefully I can get out this week. If I do, I know where I will go.

To further clarify, "panoramic" is a wider field of vision that you would get from a "normal" shot, and is NOT 'just' a picture that is very wide.

This is not a panoramic, correct?


it's just a "normal" picture cropped:
