Panoramic at home

This is cool coz I’m amazed myself — didnt know it takes only a few seconds to capture a larger home view. This is a second attempt on the panoramic mobile photo; now taken at home. Sarah was oblivious to the whole historic episode happening right in front of her :) nayyyyyy.

To take your own Nokia N95 panoramas simply work your way through these easy to follow steps:

• Set up your N95 to capture images at the highest resolution – 5 mega pixels.
• Choose ‘Landscape’ under Scene Mode for the images, this ensures a constant focus throughout the capture process.
• Stand in your location with the camera roughly at arms length and take your first image.
• The secret to a good panorama is trying to firstly make sure the nodal point (lens) is kept central for each of the images and secondly that there is a 20% overlap with each shot. As such the aim is to make the camera the point of rotation and move round taking your second image so it overlaps the first one – as our first four images below illustrate:
• Carry on working your way around the scene until you are back where you started, you should take approximately 14 images for a complete circle.
• To increase the field of view of your panorama – ie to include more of the ground or the sky/close by buildings – simply tilt the N95 upwards or downloads accordingly and go around again. Pictured below is a section of our second round of images to fit in the buildings roof.
