4 - Your panorama is finished and stitched!

Piece of advice! You need to turn your smartphone normally, without trying to turn around the nodal point for those who know what it is. For the others, do as you naturally would while trying not to change the orientation of your smartphone during the rotation.

Assets / Drawbacks - The image quality isn't extraordinary on this smartphone so your panorama won't be either. With this said, it will be good enough to illustrate a blog or a Facebook page since this panorama is still 5600x2300 pixels in size, and reduced like here, the result is completely satisfying. No extra cost, no software, no specific equipment!
The app on your smartphone allows you to discover the joys of low cost panoramic photography!

About the stitching quality with an iPhone
(Panorama mode)

Here is a 100% reframing of a panorama from my iPhone 5 in a sensitive zone: the one where the iPhone is going to stitch:

Certain horizontal lines are not perfectly lined up. It's often the n°1 pitfall of panoramic photography, with or without smartphone. So smartphones are no exception! You should never expect a perfect result with this kind of app.


Piece of advice! Then, note that you'll see numerous lines that 'should be' horizontal in 'real' life get curved in panoramic photography when the field of view becomes very wide. That's part of the attraction of this type of photography and it's unavoidable!

About the nodal point with an iPhone

I ran a test with my iPhone to know if it should be turned 'normally', else said, 'instinctively' or if you had to turn it around the nodal point. My review is categorical and to my surprise, you should naturally turn your smartphone. Read my review


Panorama by stitching

The last method to make a panorama is the most advanced method: the one said by photo stitching. You'll take a series of pictures slightly overlapping each other - about 1/3 between two pictures - as in the example below and a photo panorama software will stitch them together so as to make a nice panorama without visible stitch.. or so it should be!

This method that gives the best results can be done with a hand-held camera thus very easily or with specific equipment enabling to get a constant result and almost always even better.

Before / After into pictures



Those six photos taken with a 35mm were stitched using Autopano Giga. Note how vertical lines are perfectly straight while the photos have been taken with the body tilted downwards. Two photos at least must be stitched but you can stitch many more like the 2,346 photos of the project paris-26-gigapixels.com.


Assets / drawbacks - It is the royal way to get the best possible quality but for that, it is better to have a bit of specific equipment and dedicated software, called panorama software. It thus involves a cost that can be limited though if you follow my recommendations. We'll see all this in the next page..

Assets: very big size of images - Stitching quality - infinite possibilities..
Drawbacks Appbolish 1 0. : more difficult to implement if you want the best quality - you may need to buy specific equipment (a panoramic head) and panorama software (although it is not compulsory to get an excellent quality).

In the next page, we'll see how to shoot the photos, with the camera hand-held or with a panoramic head; what's a panoramic head for? how to rotate your camera during shooting if you hold it in your hand? Transcend disk check. The equipment to make a panorama
