Seattle's 12th Street Bridge Panorama

Following up with my last post, here is another one from Seattle’s 12th Street Bridge.

 

In the past, I preferred to shoot ultra wide but I’ve caught a niche for panoramas. Because shooting a panorama image is more methodical and the process is more complex, I find it far more rewarding when things go right. I mentioned this in a previous post, but I’ve been using the Panning Clamp from Really Right Stuff and it makes setting up a panoramic shot, very easy.

 

Setup was pretty simple; camera was mounted on tripod, image stabilization was turned off. Camera was mounted in vertical position with 17mm lens and four shots were taken using a panning clamp. Then the images were stitched together in Photoshop CS6 and developed in Lightroom 4.
