photoartflight12mm Walk In The Woods Tree Panoramas
We went to Davidsons Mill Pond Park to photograph the colorful trees along the paths in the Woods. I was traveling lite using a Canon R with a Sigma 12-24mm lens. All images here were taken at 12mm with 2 or 3 images each for the handheld panoramas. I shot both horizontal & vertical panoramas but liked the verticals more. Shooting verticals made for a more interesting view plus getting a little more sky peaking through the leaves looked interesting. It was fairly dark on the path so I upped my ISO to get a faster shutter speed for sharper images since with all the tree cover it was dark along the path. Shooting up at the trees @ 12mm added some distortion but I did not correct that because I thought it looked more interesting having more dramatic angles to the trees. The Featured Image was 2 horizontal images stacked vertically.

These are wonderful images, Reed. I adore tree canopies!
Thanks so much Eliza! They are fun to photograph! Also gives a different look to trees in the woods images!
So majestic!!!
Thanks! Once you do a few you get used to the process and they are easy to do. Plus Photoshop does most of the work!
Beautiful up-shots, Reed!
Thanks so much Donna! They are fun to do! Plus Photoshop does most of the work. When you are using really wide lenses it is a more of a challenge to automatically let Photoshop align & blend the different layers into the final image. So a slight touch up might be needed here or there. But overall it works well!
Always impressed with your stacked shots Reed.
Thanks so much! I like doing them! Plus it gives a different look to your images! Also I do not have to carry 2 cameras with different lenses to get the views I want to capture! Getting older it is nice to not have to lug a lot of camera gear.
Great canopy shots although a bit dizzying, Reed.
Thanks Steve! I just thought it showed a different view while walking through the woods! Usually I am not looking up!
