The Embodiment Of Panoramic Photographers

By Michelle Clark


A panoramic image is considered one that shows a field that is similar or greater than that the human eye can see. The aspect ratio may vary for different panoramic pictures from 4:1 to 10:1 but to be considered a panoramic, an image has got to be a wide strip of at least 2:1 image ratio at a ratio an angle of about 160 to 80 degrees. For the best pictures of this kind, you require the services of Panoramic Photographers who use special cameras and software to capture pictures with horizontally extended fields of view.

Panoramic photography is also known as wide format photography because of the ratio of the images where the width is twice as long as the height. It compromises of using a special camera that is able to capture a wide area horizontally such as a landscape. An experienced photographer licensed by the state is skilled enough to take several pictures and stitch them up using stitching software.

Wide format photography is commonly used to capture landscapes or wildlife, and aerial views of cities, towns or simply the scenery. It is designed to capture everything at the same angle as our eyes that way whatever it is we see is captured in the image. When the ratio is not as wide as twice the height, some parts of the scene will be cropped out which means the picture will not be able to depict the essence it was meant to.

This in turn does not capture the true essence of a scene making the photography pointless. You can however overcome this challenge if you use a camera with a special lens that has a high aspect ratio. Such a camera can take pictures that capture everything your eyes can see both horizontally and vertically at a go.

Equipment used in photography is very expensive and considering that they are to be used rarely, it will not be considered as a wise investment. Photographers that specialize in wide format photography have all the equipment and software required. You do not have to worry about procuring them.

There are cameras that are specially designed for wide format photography. They are quite expensive compared to ordinary cameras and it is for this reason you would rather hire a professional wide format photographer. They are not only licensed by the local authorities but they also have all required equipment to capture panoramic images.

The images you capture need to not only capture the essence of what it is you are photographing but also need to be of excellent quality. So as much as you can use almost any camera these days for wide format photography, you need to ensure that the images are clear and of excellent quality. This will hence require you get a camera that is specially designed for wide format photography.

This guarantees that the images you take are high quality and depict the exact essence of whatever it is you are photographing. It may be a landscape, wildlife or an aerial view of a city. Whatever it is, wide format photography captures a scene as exactly as the eyes see it.
