      In-Field Panorama Workflow

      The in-field work of shooting a panorama is the most important. David takes you out with him into the field to shoot a sunset panorama in real time on a beach in North Carolina. David shows you how to work with changing conditions and get the shots you'll need to make your own panorama.

      After you shoot your panos in the field, you need to edit and merge them in post-processing. In this session, David teaches you his simple step-by-step workflow in Adobe Lightroom for perfectly merged and edited panorama photos.

      Milky Way 35mm: Case Study

      The Milky Way can be a tricky subject to photograph and edit. In this case study, you'll sit down with David and learn how to create a Milky Way pano, but doing so with photos that were shot with a 35mm lens. Something we will specifically address in this session is how to navigate subject distortion in panoramas.

      Milky Way Over Marsh: Case Study

      In this next case study, we'll be examining a photo series where the Milky Way arcs across the horizon. Unlike the last session, we will look at how a wide angle lens can create completely different-looking panoramas than a 35mm lens will produce.

      Natural Designs: Case Study

      Natural designs are one of David's favorite subjects to shoot. Abstract shapes and repeating patterns can be result in some of the most stunning panoramas. One of the biggest challenges with panos, however, is dealing with moving elements and merging them properly. In this session, David will show you how to deal with moving water and wind when merging a panorama.
