May 14th, 2012 A panorama is an extended angle/field of view image, and in photography, it’s usually created using image stitching. The word panorama comes from the root for “to pan”, essentially, moving a camera slowly across a field of view. However, in photography, moving the camera doesn’t work too well, so image stitching was created.
Essentially, multiple photographs are taken, and with each photograph, the camera’s view is moved farther in a given direction. The images are then stitched together, either manually or automatically, resulting in a wide panorama.
Panoramas are fascinating because they let you see a wider view of things, that normal photographs wouldn’t show. Here’s 30 eye-opening panoramic photographs:
