Assignment Two - Part One - Panoramas

Some simple guidelines to photographing panoramas

Tripod - Whenever possible, use a tripod. This will make the construction of the image in photoshop much easier. It will also slow down the process of photographing - allowing more time to contemplate the scene being captured.

Vertical (Portrait) - Whenever possible, make the photographs vertically (portrait). This will maximized the resolution of your final image. Think about it.

Overlap - For each exposure that is made, the next exposure should share about 20% of the frame as the previous one.

Start Simple - Avoid visually complicated scenes at first as they are more difficult to construct later.

What to turn in?
Photograph and construct three final panoramas, each consisting of no less than three images each. You will be turning in three digital files and one panoramic print. What you choose to photograph is up to you!
