Lee Frost’s Panoramic Photography
Price: $29.99 USD
Bestselling author Lee Frost presents an all-encompassing, completely practical guide to creating great images in the increasingly popular panoramic format.

Panoramic photography is more accessible and more popular now than ever before. The launch of affordable cameras has been partly responsible for this, putting a panoramic system within the reach of most enthusiast photographers. Digital technology has helped too--it is now relatively straightforward to shoot a sequence of images and stitch them together using computer software.

Here Lee Frost leads readers through all the information they will need to create successful panoramic images--from choosing equipment and looking at different ways to produce panoramics, to applying filters, printing and displaying pictures, and much more.

Particular attention is paid to approaching the composition of panoramics, and overcoming compositional difficulties. Frost also offers readers inspiration for more creative uses of panoramic photography, showing how it can be used not only for landscapes and architecture, but also action, portraits, reportage, and other subjects.

  • Great Intro to Panoramic Photography!
    This is a great introduction to panoramic photography! It covers pretty much every way to capture panoramic images from beginning to end. It mostly covers film flat back cameras. It has lots of photos from the cameras and of the cameras. It gives great information on each type of camera and examples of the best. This book is what really led me to get a flat back 6x17 film camera system. Although, if you're looking for information on digital stitching, this really isn't the book for you. It briefly goes over that, but is film camera dominated. I highly recommend this book to anyone who's interested in shooting in panoramic format.
  • Outstanding book on Panorama techniques
    This is an excellent book for those interested in making photographic panoramas. It is a little outdated, but still covers the basics of making panoramas with a digital camera. The author is british, so a little of the terminology seems a bit strange to Americans (in a delightful sort of way). It is chock full of beautiful panoramas and the author's explanations of how he made them are very valuable. Good technique is timeless and this book is crammed with useful techniques as well as a very good photograhic philosophy. Being a photographer myself, I very much appreciate Mr. Frost sharing his valuable experience, opinions and outstanding panoramas with us! Lee frost discusses, and evaluates (objectively), all the panoramic cameras I am aware of, and some that I was not. I highly recommend this book for those interested in this subject and for those who simply want to look at and appreciate his beautiful photographs.
  • Great Book!
    I bought a 2nd hand Xpan (1st gen) a year ago but never really know what to do with it. It was left on the shelf when I bought a digital SLR. <br /> <br />After going through this book, I'm back to film and I never leave home without my Xpan.
