Panoramic shooting, in fact, is the camera with the lens movement, a series of photos, and then use software to become a broad image. So, make sure each photo is perfectly jointed to get a panoramic picture without a break. To do this, when shooting, the camera must move along the lens node (nodal point). Simply put, do not stretch your hands and move along the body while shooting, but instead rotate the camera with the center of the lens as the hinge.
What is Panorama shooting?
Traditional camera shot Panorama requires SLR to take a point as the center, horizontal 180° to take more than one picture, later with Photoshop synthesis. Don't be surprised by the complexity of the techniques, because now many cameras, even mobile phones, have an automatic panoramic shooting function, without having to easily take a shot at the end of an arrogant, cool panorama.
First of all, you need a panoramic shooting function of the mobile phone, now the mainstream smartphone support panoramic shooting, the author this time with Samsung Galaxy S6 to experience some.
Panoramic function is suitable for all-round display of this big scene, such as this one with S6 shot Xining People's square.
S6 can select panoramic function in camera mode
How to use mobile phone to take panoramic photos?
The panoramic view of the request is not high, the pleasant seaside, magnificent mountains, the magnificent sunrise, beautiful beaches, atmosphere of the building are your potential creative objects. Choose the scenery, let's look at the mobile phone to take a panoramic view of what to pay attention to.
Although the mobile phone shot panorama is automatic synthesis, there is no need to manually splice pictures. But in order to make the panoramic picture more natural, you must hold the phone firmly.
The correct approach is that the photographer as much as possible to hold the mobile phone, and the waist as the axis of the upper body rotation, feet separate perpendicular to the ground, as far as possible to keep the mobile phone level. "Stable" is not only reflected in the mobile, in our mobile process, the hand will inevitably have a little jitter, but must control the good range, as far as possible to maintain the same height as the beginning.
The panoramic function of S6 can take pictures over 180 degrees, but the width of the screen can be controlled by the composition of the picture, stopping at any time during the filming.
Learned the basic shooting skills, we can also use panoramic function to play the "Change of Shadow Dafa", the trick is to take the first photo, and then suspend the rotation of the mobile phone so that the subject from the photographer to the other end of the screen.
Overall, however, the panorama is more suitable for the static scenery, because if the object is moving in a larger range, you may be able to shoot something amazing ...
It's really inappropriate to move when the panorama is taken.
Three-dimensional PTZ can ensure camera horizontal motion shooting
Using a tripod shot: panoramic images, in terms of banners, the most important is a straight horizontal line. This can be said to be a panoramic picture of the important soul symbol, must not be skewed. For such a request, of course, to have a tripod to assist shooting, to ensure that the camera to make a consistent level of successful work. Depending on the width of the screen you want to capture, it is automatically divided into n segments. If you can, the PTZ should use three-dimensional PTZ, so that more convenient to adjust the horizontal and vertical displacement, so as to get a straight scene demarcation. More professional can use Pan Head platform, can better avoid parallax problem.
Notice the amount of exposure
If a manual exposure is used and a larger exposure change occurs during the panorama, it is advisable to take a standard value as a benchmark to get the correct exposure.

Shooting with small-aperture circle
Large aperture is easy to take a shallow depth of the effect, but when shooting panoramic photos generally do not need a shallow depth of the atmosphere to create, so you should use small light circle shooting, to ensure that far and near scenery can be clearly sharp rendering.
Panoramic photo points are:
The photographer as far as possible hands hold the handset, and takes the waist as the axis to drive the upper body to rotate, the two feet separate perpendicular to the ground, as far as possible maintains the handset the horizontal movement. "Stability" is not only reflected in the movement, in our mobile process, the hand will inevitably have a little jitter, but must control the good range, try to maintain the same height as the beginning
