Taken with a 1Ds Mark III and a 24mm Tilt Shift lens this panoramic of the Golden Gate Bridge at sunset is comprised of (3) three vertical images. The ability to create seamless panoramics with the 24mm Tilt Shift is quite simple. Shifting the lens from left to center to right you can easily obtain distortion free images that blend together with minimal effort.

This is one of my favorite panoramic photos and is comprised of 50 vertical images for a final resolution of roughly 425 megapixels. The thumbnail may not be impressive but if you click through you’ll see just how expansive this area really is. If you have sharp eyes you might just find a helicopter.

Take your time in enjoying this massive landscape of Kauai’s most famous canyon over the next week as I will be away photographing Maui, Hawaii.

For sometime I’ve been asked what techniques I use to capture my panoramic photos and recently I had the opportunity to conduct a presentation on the topic. Inspired by the feedback from those I’ve talked to and presented to I’ve written up an article on how to Master Digital Panoramic Photography.

If you’re new to panoramic photography I hope this helps you learn the ropes and for those with some experience in this area let me know if I can elaborate in other areas that might be of use.
