Most current smartphones allow you to take panoramic photos, and I bet you’ve used it more than once, at least I see a landscape in front of me and set out to take a panoramic view with my mobile.
Ahora bien, es la típica foto que es más «difícil» de lo que parece o por lo menos tiene trucos que está bien tener en cuenta a la hora de obtener el mejor resultado posible. Porque, como en todas las fotografías, está el nivel aceptable, pero también el nivel alucinante ?
Let’s look at some tips to make this panoramic photo taken with your cell phone from acceptable to amazing.
There are wonderful places that, however, do not say much in panoramic format, and then there are others that do not kill much but, in panoramic photography, they give a lot of play.
To choose a good place to work with panoramic photography, you should consider different aspects:
When you see this landscape, this skyline or anything you want to photograph it is important that you think about panoramic, let me explain, think about all the elements that may appear in your image.
Keep in mind that a panorama can encompass much more of the image than you can with the naked eye, turn your head slightly to the right and left, is it worth including all those elements that appear in the margins of your field of view?
If so, congratulations, you seem to have a candidate scenario to be a good :).
We assume that we want to create a good “standard” panorama, without strange effects, people stretching in front of their lens or appearing several times in their shot.
Ideally, before you start taking your picture with your mobile, make sure you have time to do so without anything or anyone walking in front of your lens.
Sometimes we sin for wanting to enjoy the length of our panorama because we find that the effect is very good.And that’s great, but the truth is that the too long panoramas are pretty flat.
The longer the panorama, the finer the image and the result is not always good.Consider whether you really need to use the full length of the panorama or if you can cut a little earlier, just when the elements you wanted to include in your image are represented.
Sometimes we focus so much on the panorama itself that it gives us the feeling that the image is based only on the simple fact of being panoramic, but nothing further from the truth, the composition is also fundamental in panorama.
Here are some tips to keep in mind
You know that the sensor of mobile phones, however much it has improved (whatever it has), still has problems with the dynamic range (difference between lights and shadows).
If there’s too much difference between lights and shadows when you visit your panorama, your phone may not be able to capture light in all sections and your image may be overexposed or underexposed in certain areas of your panorama.
Ideally, look for as homogeneous lights as possible, leaving the sun behind or on one side of the frame, or so, if you include the sun, either when it’s low on the hotizon.
Holding your phone to take panoramic photos is essential.Do it with both hands and with a comfortable and balanced body posture, you will get the best result.
Of course, if you have a tripod for your smartphone, obviously, this will be the best solution.
Move the camera slightly from side to side, keeping the posture and the same axis, the more you stick to this axis, the better the result, because this way the phone won’t have to crop too much to unify the image.
With your usual editing program on your mobile, you can correct lights and shadows or turn your image into black and white.
Don’t forget not to abuse the settings, because the image quality is quickly lost.
If your phone has a panoramic option, like most people today, I recommend you don’t get complicated and use it.
If you don’t have it, I’ll leave you some options
