What is a panoramic photo?

Panoramic photo refers to a 360-degree panoramic photo taken in the horizontal direction, which is usually used to explain the whole picture of the caught object.

These photos can be taken with a professional panorama camera or SLR camera. Attention should be paid to the clarity and color expression of the picture and the relationship between the subject and the environment when shooting. Panoramic photos are usually used in various scenes, such as tourism, real estate, hotels, etc., to show the surrounding environment and the whole picture. Keep the camera stable when shooting, and use auxiliary equipment such as tripod to ensure the clear and stable picture. In addition, you can also use special lenses such as fisheye lenses to shoot a wider scene.

The traditional panoramic photo of optical photography is to show all the scenes (cylindrical panorama) from 90 degrees to 360 degrees on a two-dimensional plane, and push the front, back, left and right of a scene to the viewer in an unobstructed way. There is even a so-called "complete" panorama (spherical panorama), even the top of the head and the soles of the feet are "painted".

Panoramic photo shooting skills

1. Keep the camera stable: It is very important to keep the camera stable when taking panoramic photos. If the camera is not stable enough, it may lead to problems in photo stitching and affect the overall beauty. Therefore, it is recommended to use a tripod or other supporting equipment to ensure the stability of the camera.

2. Determine the shooting direction: When shooting panoramic photos, you need to determine the shooting direction. Generally speaking, shooting from the left can get better results because people's visual habits are clockwise. However, you can also choose different shooting directions according to the specific situation.

3. Segmentation shooting: Segmentation shooting is a common panoramic photo shooting skill. That is to say, the whole scene is divided into several parts, shot separately and then spliced together. This can ensure that each part can be clearly presented, and it is easier to control the overall composition and color performance.
