This is not a panoramic, correct?
.

it's just a "normal" picture cropped:
.

I suppose we only saw the cropped image we would not be able determine if it was a pano or not, unless we had some prior knowledge of the scene/area you were at.

I gather that you understand, but let me describe it this way if anybody else is pondering the situation:
I suppose the definition of panographic would be one image that shows what it to the left and what is ahead and what is to the right (and maybe what is behind), all in one image, more than what can be taken in one normal photo.
As Bob baatfam has mentioned, One way to do this it to take multiple shots looking in different directions, then stitch them together somehow (is software utilitys to do that). Or some cameras (smart phones) have a mode to do that, just hit the button and turn camera from one side to the other(is an aid on the screen to help keep it level).

[Baatfam]

Just a little hint for anyone that doesn't have a capable phone/camera, or the software to stitch together a Panoramic photo.

IrfanView is a free photo editing software that can put together a panorama.

I would think you have that right without calling for it. Seems that only problem would be if you changed it after someone has voted for it.

A few years ago, when I first got an iPhone 5C, I used pano mode to try to show how the beach-lake went from as far as could see to the left to as far as could see to the right. I was not too happy with the results, so did try another situation. But havent used it much since.

Here is when I tried it again.
This time I was a bit back from the bike.

The road in this area is actually straight.
(note: this is early morning of the first day the road was closed for construction but had not started yet.)

THis is about the best I could do to show the vastness of the beach-road with a regular shot.







Just so that you can laugh at me:
I know the pano is suppose to be made by turning-panning-rotating the camera from one direction to the other direction.
But I also tried it by holding the camera in same direction and me walking along parrallell to the side of a barn. Worked fairly well, but not when I went past the bike that was closer to me than was the barn.

That's been my experience too - I have tried to use it but it never turns out as a smooth picture so I stopped trying.

If nothing else, the pano theme forced me to take at least one more chilly ride before I start in on winter projects.

A fun challenge, but I'm not sure I'll be able to pull it off this week - very busy. During the week my wife will be helping her mother who fell and spent the weekend the hospital.

I was trying out some panoramic shots while walking the dog earlier. I can do it, but the key will be to see if I can find a well lit and appealing, or at least not cluttered and ugly background that's fairly close. I'm certainly going to make an effort to try.

Never had a lot of luck with panoramas, but did a little reading yesterday and gave it a test run in the garage.
I used my video head on my tripod, so I could slid the camera back and rotate around the focus point of the lens.
Seem to help a lot, only a couple of stitching errors using On1, probably because I didn't overlap enough. (From what I read, 30% is the minimum overlap.)

These are not entries:

Camera on tripod....Need to figure how to strap that to the bike.



And my garage....I can spot at least three stitching errors...

LMAO I died when I saw this!

My Panorama... Yeah TUX power!!!

Camera on tripod....

Camera vertical....? Because that what do with smart phone for pano....? I would think that not need to apply to using a camera.

LMAO I died when I saw this!

When you saw the resulting image...?
Or..... When you saw my description of what I thought to try....?
(I was laughing at myself for both.)

Pano's are usually shot with the camera in " Portrait " mode. Otherwise you end up with a long thin strip without details of the upper and lower areas. I've done it both ways but portrait mode adds more detail to the picture.....

The post in itself was hilarious... The picture just was so especially bad I was crying. I think impart was a software issue for look at how uneven the roof is then the Bike was just totally screwed up... Ugh I'm crying.
