I follow quite a few photography channels, yours is literally my favourite. Laid back but with so much valuable information, presented in an easy to understand way, always a very enjoyable experience. Cheers form the UK and thanks Hudson.
I am at the 22-minute mark and went and brought the pano course straight up, I luv how you tell stories and your passion for what you do Hudson. I have done panos for some time and suspect that I will know much of what you do, but I just luv your work and how you go about it, and I am sure I will learn more and reinforce what I know with this course. Great stuff keep it up - cheers Mark.
Your channel is quickly becoming my favorite. Love your work. This was timely. I've only been into photography for the last several years and I"m hooked. Sports, portraits and wildlife have been my main focus as I improve. I just tried my hand at a night panorama skyline reflection off the Mississippi river in downtown Minneapolis and I impressed myself. I took the time to scout the area, made a plan and it worked. Basic kit too, D5300 and a 35mm f1.8. I played with other focal lengths and exposures. I feel like I could hang it on a wall too. I plan on entering it in an annual photo contest around here as well. Your channel has definitely inspired me to keep improving. I appreciate your content. I used to rock climb and camp in my 20s and into my 30s. Life happens. I"m actually keen know more about your hiking/climbing adventures too. Now I want to go shoot more landscape Panos.
Hudson, I was curious as to what you mounted the large printed pano to. That is did you glue the print to something like a large single sheet of gator-board or was the print mounted to a series of smaller vertical panels that were hung side by side? Great video!!
WOW !!! Not much more to say Hudson. Your passion, knowledge and storytelling is incredible, thank you!! I have only tried panos a couple of times but after this I think I'm on my way to purchase your course and learn something new!! Also, thanks for all of your courses on On1.
Hey Hudson, absolutely love your channel, one of my top 3 favourites. I've just purchased a vertical gimbal pano slide for some landscape photography this weekend. Was not 100% sure whether to invest my time into it but seeing the kind of beautiful results you have show in this video, it made me realise it's very much worth getting into. Thank you for sharing your work, knowledge and advice!
@@HudsonHenryPhoto You're welcome mate! I also decided to get the 500AH fluid head since I can see from your other videos how much easier it will be for panos than my current ball head or geared head. Very excited to try something new in my photography. Many thanks again :)
Hudson, I have to say I just love your videos but more importantly your talent, vision and passion to share that with the rest of us that love the art of photography.....
Hudson - Thanks for the background on your continuing interest and proficiencies in taking and making panoramas ... I was hoping for some pertinent and revelatory insights-? Or maybe a few paragraphs on specific technique. Do I need to be on a filed trip to be on the inner circle of info ...?
I just put up an entire 14 lesson advanced pano video course for 29.99. It's for either on1 or Adobe and linked in the video description. I did share a few tips here too. Use a ton of overlap is an example. I'd love to have you join a workshop too though! :)
Hey Hudson, did you have to do any editing. Was your shots jpeg or raw. Also I am trying to decide weather to purchase lightroom classic or photo shop. Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thank
Curtis, only what you see, but... LR classic and Photoshop come as a combo in the photographers package for $10/month. One of the best deals out there.
Really appreciate you bringing all your years of experience and passion for panoramics distilled beautifully in this vid.I started the same with lots of prints and was hooked!It also got me into tripods and decent heads-and of course-a whole new way of looking and doing.That was probably the best lesson for me,through practise,widening my vision!I normally do archaeological work so I would describe myself as a "hole in the ground specialist"-where incident light readings still rule.Seasons Greatings fae Scotland
In your fantastic pano of Lago Torre, both foreground and background seem to be in sharp focus. Did you shoot a multi row pano or maybe focus stack a single row pano?
No focus fanciness. I just used live view to nail hyperfocal distance. I'll be releasing a course on focus that includes that technique as well as focus stacking in the coming weeks. It's simple to see exactly where focus is these days and I never rely on apps, many of which I mistrust.
I'll have to look and see if you've done a video on time lapse & how they're assembled. Premiere Pro? I Rules are guidelines. Sometimes the horizon works better on the top 1/3, o in between like your photo.
My preference is After Effects, but I actually prefer PS to Premiere. PS does a fine job. LR time-lapse is fabulous too in conjunction with either of the above for more nuanced processing.
Love your lessons and your teaching style, everything is well explained and understandable. So have started creating panos and probably going to big or to many frames, ending up with files that I have to safe as psb files and can not open them in Lightroom or ON1 nor can I see them in my catalog. Is there a solution to this or a way around it? Maybe I'm just making files to big for nothing.
Fabulous question. It totally depends on how big you need to print the files. What I do is save the fully edited .psb file in the folder and then open it in PS, flatten it and save an 8-bit psd of it in the same folder. You'll need to resync that folder to get it into lightroom's catalog, but that way you have a super high quality 1:1 version to see anywhere and a full-res master reserved for later. I can recall when LR wouldn't recognize any file with a dimension longer than 10,000 pixels. I did the same thing back then and now there is no problem looking at the originals. I imagine that will happen with psbs eventually and psds will likely grow in capability as well.
All advantages to digital now. Film is a wonderful artistic way to work, but digital has so much more dynamic range and low light capability. It opens worlds to capture I never would have considered in film.

Thanks for that comment Kevin! Makes my morning. Have you checked out my advanced pano video course?

You're so welcome James. Thanks so much for that feedback!
Fantastic video. Thanks! I am looking at doing more panos even when the scene does not require it just to get a higher resolution image.
Thanks for insights. Awesome work.
Luv doing panos. Haven't watched this through yet but I am sure it's going to awesome; been waiting for this one!
Have you made any videos on how to shoot a 360° spherical panorama? Could you please point me to those? Thanks.
Always interesting! Love the panos.

That makes my day. Thank you.
I find that I'm leaning more into Panoramas, as well as doing more and more panos. I'd love to show you one that I've done.
Shoot it to me via Email I've been into Panos since the early 2000s with scanned medium format film. :-)
So is there panoramas for dummies video? I’ve never tried this but it would very cool.
You bet. I have a course right here : shop.hudsonhenry.com/collections/courses

Film vs digital
