Chapter 1 – Gear & Setup For Panoramic Photography

In this first chapter we provide easy to understand explanations of the gear you’ll need to capture amazing panoramic images. From a standard ball-head configuration to an advanced panoramic photography rig, we demonstrate parallax error in the field, setting up a basic nodal slide and we even do a speed test to see which rig delivers the best result.

We also included a ‘Questions and Answers’ video to tackle some commonly asked questions from photographers wanting to get into Panoramic photography.

This chapter contains 5 videos for a total duration of 27 minutes.

Chapter 2 – Cheater Panos

There are times when a ‘cheater pano’ is the way to go. Gavin and Brent discuss the merits and drawbacks of the simplest method of capturing a panoramic image.

This chapter contains 2 videos for a total duration of 5 minutes.

Chapter 3 – The Handheld Pano Photography Cheat Sheet

This chapter gives you a solid foundation on which to build your entire panoramic photography workflow. We start on location high up in the mountains of Alberta and then head to the studio to work on the RAW files in Lightroom. Even if you  shoot with a tripod majority of the time, you won’t want to skip this chapter. We’ll walk you through camera settings, to colour coded RAW file organization, stitching, cropping and correcting the final image.

This chapter contains 6 videos for a total duration of 13 minutes.

Chapter 4 – Single Row Panorama on a Standard Ball-Head

In this chapter we capture a foggy pano using a standard ball-head setup  (we reckon most photographers will be using type of configuration). We discuss pre-visualization and how to ensure that your pano remains perfectly focused, correctly exposed throughout and has enough data to successfully stitch all the frames together. In the studio, Brent walks you through the process of preparing his files for stitching in Adobe Lightroom and then takes them into Photoshop for a closer look.

This chapter contains 3 videos for a total duration of 14 minutes.

Chapter 5 – Multi-Row Panoramas

This chapter begins with a misty sunrise shoot at one of our favourite lakes where, we tackle the challenges of photographing a multi-row pano while battling quickly shifting light. Brent then gives you a detailed tutorial on how to stitch the many frames that make up this complex shot in Adobe Lightroom. The result is a ginormous, high resolution pano that could fill the wall of any airport.

This chapter contains 2 videos for a total duration of 9 minutes.

Chapter 6 – Exposure Bracketed Panoramas

In this chapter, we walk you through the process of capturing and editing a panorama while increasing dynamic range. We start on location in the Rockies, capitalizing on perfect early morning light to capture the panorama. Next, Brent walks you through the editing process of his pano frames using both Adobe Lightroom and PTGui Pro.

This chapter contains 3 videos for a total duration of 18 minutes.

Chapter 7 – Bracketed Focus Stacked Panoramas

In this final chapter Gavin walks you through the process of shooting and editing a focus stacked, bracketed panorama using Brent’s perfectly executed pano of Mesa Arch. Gavin explains Brent’s method which is unique to his precision pano rig and then explains how he would have shot the same pano using a standard ball-head system.

He then demonstrates how to manually blend multiple exposures in Photoshop to create natural-looking images with lots of dynamic range while still retaining what he calls ‘natural blowout’.

This chapter contains 8 videos for a total duration of 43 minutes.

Just in case you’re wondering, yes, Brent does wear a full-blown mullet wig for all his tutorials. Don’t say anything, or he’ll get weird.
