Do you have that moment when you’re in a place, maybe a national park or somewhere beautiful, and you just get overwhelmed by its beauty, then you try and get a photograph but the image turned out bland and lifeless? It’s one of the biggest challenges of photography – to convey feelings into an image.
This is especially true in landscape photography, where subjects are too majestic they can’t be captured in a single frame. One way to do this successfully is to capture it in panorama. Here are some panoramic tips for your next landscape photography. |

Shoot in F8 or higher
Shooting landscapes generally doesn’t require narrow depth of field because you don’t need to add a bokeh effect on your shot. You want as much focus as possible, and that means a smaller aperture. Shoot at F8 or higher, F10 for me, is perfect.
Slow your shutter
When you photograph landscapes, there’s a big chance a bird or something will photobomb your image. So slowing your shutter will prevent birds from showing up in the final image.

Overlap
When you are in the post-production stage, the rule of thumb should be 1/3 to ½ of each shot should overlap. This will ensure a smooth final image. So during your photoshoot, keep this in mind so you can align your shots so they will overlap accordingly.
