Description

In your outdoor adventures, you have probably tried to create horizontal panoramas. In this premium video, Outdoor Photography Guide’s David Johnston pulls a switch. He shows you how to create vertical panoramas to squeeze a lot of image in a small space.

In the woods, David photographs a dirt path passing a tree root formation. He places his first composition in the bottom of the frame. When creating a vertical panorama, you anchor your camera to a tripod and adjust the camera down and up. Using manual focus, David captures three images, bottom to top.

Later, in Lightroom, he merges the three photos to create a single vertical photo. Try this creative technique. You will be pleased.
