Outdoor Photography How To

David Bergman is a NY-based photographer well known for his sports, celebrity, and concert images, and in the video below he’ll teach you how to harness the power of panoramic photography in less than three minutes.

The approach Bergman describes doesn’t involve special equipment or cropping a conventional image to arrive at a wide aspect ratio. Rather, he demonstrates the simple process of shooting multiple images and stitching them together. Once you learn the technique, you can easily do this yourself with the equipment you already own.

Bergman explains that the images you intend to merge into one panorama must be consistent in exposure and focus, and why he prefers using vertical shots for this process. This video is part of Bergman’s “Two-Minute Tips” series on Adorama TV. Be sure to watch an earlier episode we shared revealing a simple trick for improving portrait photographs.
