Today’s image is one that I’m excited about because it’s something that I’ve wanted to try for a while. This is a vertical panorama, or vertorama as I’ve seen them called, from the Stone Mill in Lawrence, MA. I was shooting there the other day with the very talented Bob Lussier, and we spent a fair amount of time trying all sorts of angles and compositions in this room. I lingered for a while, and right before I was about to move on to a new location, it occurred to me that this could be a good spot for a vertorama so I fired off 5 sets of brackets from the floor up to the ceiling. When I processed them last night, I was really pleased that it was indeed a good place for one of these shots. Vertoramas really create an interesting perspective in a room, in this case making the room seem much longer than it actually is. Now I can’t wait to find other opportunities in rooms like this to try these some more.
I haven’t tried vertoramas yet but with results like this one, I need to. Well done Steven
Awesome subtle use of HDR here Steven, you’ve rocked this vertorama!
Nice subtle vanishing lines here Steven. The HDR processing is spot on.
Excellent job Steven. I’ve never tried shooting a vertorama but I think I’ll need to put it on my list.
I’ve never tried this – What lens do you use to avoid problems handling converging verticals? Excellent processing here, Steven. Smart work.
Thanks Andy. This was a small space so I used a 18-70 lens. Ideally I believe telephoto lenses work better, but in tight spaces it’s not always possible. This was my first attempt at one of these, so I think I’ll need to try some different things in the future.
That was really cool Steven. I clicked on the image to get the larger version. Now im on a 15″ laptop, so not much difference from the post image. But i was pleasantly surprised that I was able to zoom in and really enjoy all the details in the floor ceiling and the windows. Great shot and processing. I never made a vertorama, but Im going to try it out next time im out.
Love the way this turned out!
