Panoramic at home

Posted by zenoed

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.
