Public: How to take photos for a panoramic

[melyndie]

Do you like the panoramic photos on erality.com? You can submit your own photos to be "stitched" together by my brother Jason. One of you asked about how best to take photos for panoramic pictures, so Jason wrote out a list of guidelines and suggestions. I post them here so that any of you who wish to have a panoramic made and posted on our site

Very helpful instructions; perhaps one day I will locate some scene worth the effort. Brilliant idea: a reunion of all thirteen siblings and decedents ten years from now. That should constitute a panoramic shot. ;-)

I suppose the use of a tripod is best in keeping the image levels somewhat aligned?

I think that your family is big enough for a panoramic right now. ;-) It would be really funny if you spaced everyone a few feet apart and then took a wide panoramic of everyone!

Oh yes, a tripod helps tremendously. Thanks for pointing that out! I'll go add it to the instructions.

LOL! I agree! But I think that all family members should be lined up in height order and then placed a few feet apart. ;-)

[melyndie]

Yeah, I agree! For smaller families like ours, we could stand like 10 feet apart.

Cool! Tomorrow's supposed to be a beautiful day - I'll try to take some pictures. (I know I'll want an excuse to get out of the house! ;-))

Thanks, Jason (and Melinda - you little Secretary, you! ;-))

Hurrah! I can't wait to see the computer!

Urgh. By the time I got outside, the sun was setting behind the hills I wanted to take the pics of. I didn't think you wanted a picture of the sun (bad for the eyes, they say!),so....sorry!

[melyndie]

Aww, that's okay. Try again another day. :-)
