A panorama is a photo that is
much wider (or taller) than a normal photograph. Whether you want to capture
mountain vistas, lofty monuments, or a picture of the whole family, Many
cameras make it easy to take breathtaking panoramic photos. Add an HP
photo printer and HP panorama-sized photo paper to the mix, and you’ll
have professional-looking panoramic prints in minutes.
Benefits of panoramic photography
Remember cutting half of your family from
the last reunion photo because they just didn’t fit into the frame?
Or maybe you have been forced to decide between the mountains on the
right and the sunset on the left because including both wasn’t
an option.
Here are some photo opportunities that are ideal for panoramas:
Nature and landscapes: from mountain ranges to
redwood trees
Cityscapes and architecture: from city skylines
to skyscrapers
Group portraits and events: from stadium sports
and festivals to reunions and weddings. (Pair your camera with
a portable HP photo printer, and you can print your pictures on the
spot!)
Panoramic photography works by stitching a series of regular-size images together.
Several digital cameras offer an easier solution: in-camera panorama preview and stitching. » Back to top
Tips for taking panoramas
It’s easy to capture panoramas with
your camera.
Here are some general tips to help you get the best results possible:
Make sure your camera is as level as possible.
Stand in the same position for all the shots you take.
Overlap your images by 30-50% horizontally. (Yourcamera will guide
you through this process.)
Panoramas are impressive images—even when viewed on your camera's LCD screen. But panoramic prints are even
more impressive. The format is wonderful for displaying and sharing.
