There are times when we're out in the field and our widest lens doesn't enable us to squeeze an entire expansive vista into the frame. That's when it's time to shoot multiple images and merge them during post processing to create one spectacular ultra-wide shot.
This powerful panorama technique is far easier than it sounds, as you'll learn in today's step-by-step guide from the popular PHLOG Photography YouTube channel. Feel free to follow along in real time by downloading the demonstration Raw file with a link beneath the video.
German instructor Christian Mohrle is one of our favorite landscape photographers, and he's equally adept when sitting behind the computer. This comprehensive workflow covers everything you need to know from merging your shots, carefully cropping the result, refining any missteps, and fixing minor gaps.
Mohrle then demonstrates several important adjustments to the image as a whole by first changing the profile from Adobe Color to Adobe Landscape which provides a bit more base saturation for the colorful look he has in mind.
He then increases exposure to restore shadow detail, while dropping highlights to avoid blowing out the sky and the water in the middle of his composition. Other preliminary adjustments include adding texture and vibrance, while dropping clarity and dehaze for a softer effect.
It's now time to selectively improve the image by applying simple masks that will enable you to enhance individual areas throughout the frame with the specific modifications that are required. The lesson concludes with thoughtful color grading and a bit of subtle sharpening.
There' much more to learn on the PHLOG Photography YouTube channel—especially if landscape photography is your thing.
Be sure not to miss another of Mohrle's transformational tutorials in which he demonstrates how to create awe-inspiring landscape and nature photographs with a beautiful, atmospheric, side-lighting effect.
