This was an absolutely perfect tutorial! I learned a lot! Thank you for all you do in helping photographers at any level learn skills to improve their skills.
Agree with everyone else...best video out there. Thank you sir for taking the time to explain things so well. And because of that, I've now subscribed. Greg from Minnesota.
I believe using a telephoto lens gives a much different look as the lens compresses distances. For example of creating an image of a city scrape, it is fantastic. Also the telephoto has less barrel distortion. My least favorite is a wide angle lens. Good job with explaining the best way to approach a panorama project.
Hey OliH, my first time watching your channel, I just wanted to say thanks, a very good explanation of Pano for me to learn from. I’ve subscribed because you come across very sincere to your viewers and are obviously a very capable photographer.
Great video! I learned all that you mentioned the hard way by tries and errors. I also take a pic of my hand (used to put the lens cap on but hand is faster) between groups. Using a leveling base when taking panorama will help level all the shots. I recommend RRS leveling base since it has the highest degree of articulation. Definitely earn yourself another sub.
Aloha. I just came across your video on Panorama and how to avoid Parallax. Your video has the best description of parallax and what we can do to reduce or avoid it. Thank-you very much for a great video and your explanation. Enjoying your other content and videos, you have a great channel and a very cool name which also happens to be the same as mine haha. Mahalo and Aloha
This is the best demonstration of parallax (and how to deal with it) that I have ever seen!! Thank you so much for this. I am about to order my nodal slide, so many thanks again for the excellent advice and tutorial.
Thank you :-) I only worry about parallax when I’m shooting wide and the foreground is close… for example I have never had any problem with parallax when I use my 24-70 and up. exact mm i don’t think exist… it depends on the foreground and how close it is… I generally use the Nodal Slide when im shooting up to 22-24 mm and the foreground is closer than 2 meters… it’s not an exact science but I hope this helps :-)
Just watched a couple of your videos based around Panoramic shooting, in particular multi row. I only have (at the moment) a Sony a6500 which you will know is a cropped sensor at 24 megapixels, is this still good enough to produce a very large hires image? Thanks in advance.
I haven’t used that camera but you can really use any camera for panorama... just follow the instructions and you will be able to create as many row and columns as you want... just be careful, the more row and columns the more complex the stitching will be... and more taxing on your computer :-) Good luck and a happy new year 🥳
I saw your other video and now watching this one, like them both and subscribed to you. I have a question regarding the scenes. Where did you take them? I am from California and I love those mountains with snow and lake.
Im happy you like my videos :-) The Winter Scene is shot at lake Hvaleyrarvatn... just 10-15 minutes drive from Reykjavík. Just put the name in your GPS and you will find it easily... it's a big lake with many nice frames around... you can spend a whole day there :-)
Hello..i have a question..if i want to do a pano with the nodal trail but i want to’ tilt my camera to have more foreground does the nodal point works anyway ?
Great tutorial. I got one question though. I suppose the first row is level. But as you tilt the camera for the second row, how does that affect level? The second row can never be level any more... Doesn't that create stitching problems ?
It can, and you can get a big pano gimbal for multi Row... but personally I have never had any problems with it, few times Lightroom has failed, but then I just use PTGui to stitch together. Why don't a use the big gimbal for my panos? I just don't need more "big stuff" in my camera bag :-) but if 4-8 row panos were bigger part of my photography, I would :-)
What length of nodal slide should one buy for 16-35mm lens ?? The longer slide will make wider angle lens to capture part of slide itself. So just wondering if I should go for 100mm, 140mm, or 200mm. Also If i Buy 200mm possible to put Arca swiss and move position of camera on slide... Kind of one slide for all lens ?? I am planning to try Milky way Pano sometime in early spring after solstice.
Do we need that bigger nodal slide that centers both horizontal and vertical nodal point? Bc using just this one, don't you still get horizontal parallax when you do multi row?
Yes... if you do a lot of huge multi row panos it is recommended... I have never had any problems with horizontal parallax when i is the equipment I have... I find the big one a bit of a hassle... but like I said... if you do a lot of huge multi rows it is recommended...
Hi I am thinking of getting into panos. At present i have 3 nikon lenses ; 55-300mm, 16-85mm and a 35mm prime lens 1.8g. Can i use these. I am also thinking of getting a 70-200 2.8 lens. thank you.
When you have the nodal point of the lens it should eliminate all parallax... I never had any issues with vertical... but you can get a bigger pano head with a horizontal and vertical rail :-)

Thank you… happy to hear it’s useful
Thank you for explaining. I completely understand. Best demonstration and explanation I've seen.
I’m glad you enjoyed it

You’re welcome 🙏
The c stand explanation was genius, many thanks!

Simon Harding happy to help buddy... thank you for commenting
great video. And with telephoto lenses you have different perspective and compression too. often you can not zoom with your feet :)
Exactly :-)
Merry Christmas my friend
@@oli-haukur-valtysson Thank you. Merry Christmas!
I use a Samyang 12mm f/2.8 Fish Eye lens on my a7r4 and a NN6 pano rig.
I stitch using PTGui and if I am asked for a Virtual Tour I will use 3DVista.
Great video.
Question: At what point does parallax not have an impact? 90mm? 150mm? ....
Thank you :-)
I only worry about parallax when I’m shooting wide and the foreground is close… for example I have never had any problem with parallax when I use my 24-70 and up.
exact mm i don’t think exist… it depends on the foreground and how close it is… I generally use the Nodal Slide when im shooting up to 22-24 mm and the foreground is closer than 2 meters… it’s not an exact science but I hope this helps :-)

I like a longer focal length for panos if possible. I want high resolution photos. And I also hate my computer.
Computer issues are common with high resolution photos 😊

Yes… just follow the guidelines and you can use any lens 😊
Olih...
Does parallax correction by nodal slide does vertical correction also?
Does both horizontal n vertical parallax eliminate by a single slide?
When you have the nodal point of the lens it should eliminate all parallax... I never had any issues with vertical... but you can get a bigger pano head with a horizontal and vertical rail :-)
@@oli-haukur-valtysson thanks a ton buddy...
