World Image Issue 32 May 2016

Continuing with the seaside
theme, and the panoramas, you
may have read the earlier
article by Geoff Bowers on this
subject.
Yes you can do it. It is not
highly technical, and requires
no special equipment or
training, just the courage to
give it a go.
If you use a wide angle lens to
take the panorama picture then
you will get distortion in the
form of image compression
because the final picture is still
presented as a standard frame.
Again, not all views work well as a panorama, but most do. In this selection Alan Griffiths reverts to colour.
Colour sells, but it is also necessary to ensure the whole image holds the story you want to convey.
Even when the tide is out on an overcast and uninviting day, the
way the image is captured should convey that feeling. Views can
change moment to moment depending on the lighting.
They can also change in post processing, but if an image is changed
it must still look right when finished. Here we could make the sun
shine on the hills and the harbour, but with that heavy overcast sky
who would believe it?
As in all pictures you need to be aware of what is in the scene and
the effects it will have on the final image.
This is more important in a panorama sequence as you are only
looking at one part at a time, and you may end up with a ghost
image of someone or something moving which will spoil the
picture.
