Lynn WiezyckiOk, for the rest of the story, er process… I created a video that shows 3 panorama post-processing methods I use on my image(s) to end up with that wide-angle view. For some reason, I love this type of image. I think it is because I see that way, I happen to have a very wide view of the world. I don’t miss much! It can be a bit distracting, but hey!, it has worked for me in my photography! These panoramas of the world are my favorite images to print, especially on metal!
Panorama Post-Processing – Devil’s Golf Course, Death Valley, California
The above image was taken with a Nikon D810 and a Nikon 16-35mm lens. I hand-held the camera in Portrait position and shot 10 images that overlapped about 20%.
Panorama Post-Processing – Nubble Lighthouse, Maine
The above image was taken with the Nikon D810 and the Nikon 24-70mm lens. I hand-held the camera in Portrait position and shot 41 images that overlapped about 20%. Since ocean images are so hard for panorama programs to handle, I cut this back to 12 images to create the view. It is better to have too many images than not enough, so I usually go beyond what I think I will want in the finished image.
Please take a look at the video tutorial below. There are many ways to do your panorama post-processing. I use Lightroom and Photoshop to show you the methods I prefer.
I am sure you will enjoy adding panorama shooting (Part 1) and panorama post-processing to your travel photography repertoire.

That is all for now.
