Panorama

Composition

A photo with an extra-wide field of view, taken with a special lens or by stitching multiple images together.

Create panoramas by rotating the camera horizontally and taking overlapping shots (at least 30% overlap). Software like Lightroom or Photoshop stitches them together. Use a fixed exposure and white balance for all frames, otherwise the seam shows visible transitions.
