Panoramic Photography

I really love the open spaces of Highland Perthshire and the opportunities that it gives me for wonderful majestic and sweeping panoramas.

I was on the hill above Kenmore last week chasing the light at the summit to capture an evening golden hour panoramic shot of Loch Tay but it never came quite right as there was a haze in the air that affected visibility so I packed up and headed down the hill. On the way down, I passed this line of traditional Caledonian Pines, one of the wonderful features of the hill; they seemed to glow in the light and point towards Schiehallion so I stopped. There was no time to set up my full panoramic outfit before the light changed so I took out my iPhone and took this panoramic photograph.

I introduce simple panoramic photography techniques on my Smartphone and DSLR/Mirrorless Photography for Beginners courses but if you would like to specialise and go into more detail on my Panoramic Photography course you’ll learn about planning the shoot, techniques used with budget and specialist panoramic equipment, we’ll go out on location in Glen Lyon to capture a scene and then come back to process them in Lightroom for you to take away at the end of the day. Give me a call if you’d like to chat more about my photography courses?

Acratech specialist panoramic equipment - L-Bracket, Nodal Rail and Panoramic Tripod head - all are available for you to borrow for the day if you book onto my Panoramic Photography course.
