[@MattySkydaddy]

Bro, i do this and always felt superior for like cracking the code or being ahead of other photographers 😂 nice to see that this is actually a technique that's being recognized as something a professional would do

[@TheSlantedLens]

Most definitely! You can get some stunning results!

[@lensman5762]

Although I agree with some of your assertions, what lens a photographer uses depends on how he sees the world around him/her. I have been a photographer for nearly 40 years so I do have some experience. I know some photographer who find the perspective a 50mm offers most pleasing, others including myself see the world through a slightly wider perspective 35mm~ 40mm to be exact. A few that I know prefer 28mm. So, much depends on how you see the world.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Excellent point! Thanks for sharing!

[@SummersSnaps]

I think that some people naturally gravitate towards a focal length that is comfortable to them but they need to be careful of 'stubbornness' and an unwillingness to learn a new length. It is not a pleasing experience to change from a focal length you're comfortable with to a new one, you initially do poorly with that new foreign length and are often left disappointed. What needs to be cemented more is that there's no such thing as a bad focal length, only that the user is not as adept at using that length (yet). Persistence and practice will allow for that new length to become familiar and better results will come. Be kind to yourself. I think what really shows is when a tog begins to master that focal length, they start to see the world in 50mm shades or 28mm or whatever, but they have become experts in showcasing that focal length so there is wisdom to be had in picking a length and mastering it for years.

[@sbrazenor2]

You can also make a massive picture, which really brings out detail. 3-4x the data, with a tighter lense, in comparison to a wider single image is definitely going to look better. 😁👍

[@TheSlantedLens]

Totally agree. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@jer3006]

Surprised initially, but your suggestion makes a lot of sense. Always love your video moments where you talk to yourself; the green-tone DataColor moment is LOL superb, including your final reaction to being ranted at. Thanks for sharing this.

[@TheSlantedLens]

You are welcome! Glad you found it worthwhile and entertaining!

[@Gynra]

That technique works OK for reasonably distant views, that do not contain straight lines, but if one is really serious about panoramas, one should pivot the camera around the nodal point of the lens. There are devices to enable one to do that.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Yes, that is a great approach as well!

[@Bro_TD]

Explain more please. Sounds interesting

[@Gynra]

@@Bro_TD If you type something like "panoramas using nodal point" into the KZbin search bar, there's quite a few videos explaining the concept. Happy shooting!

[@TheDavveponken]

I always shoot them vertically (whenever). It's easier to stitch (much more freedom) and the quality ends up being better in the end as well.

[@TheSlantedLens]

That is a great point. Thanks for sharing!

[@markbernhardt6281]

I like my 180mm nikon for stitching. Lots of images means lots of pixels!

[@TheSlantedLens]

Very true. Those stitched images are much larger and great for large prints.

[@stevenkersting3494]

I'm sorry, but there is so much that is just wrong in this video. Perspective has absolutely nothing to do with focal length; it is ONLY related to subject distance. A 50mm lens is only "normal" on a FF sensor body; and that's because it records an ~ 55° diagonal FOV. 28mm is "normal" for 1.5x APS. If you stitch to create a wider FoV, you destroy the normality of the 50mm (on FF). "Cylindrical perspective" is caused by parallax; which most who stitch panos try very hard to avoid. The curved focal plane is not notably different from the field curvature a WA lens often exhibits (of minimal impact at long distances). And the curved focal plane result could very easily actually be a wavy focal plane/DoF if the lens in use has a field curvature characteristic. Avoiding parallax doesn't require switching to a WA lens and not stitching. It requires panning around the lens' nodal point. The two things that are true/correct are that stitching gives a higher MP/resolution image; and parallax looks bad when there is something in the image up close.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Keep on clickin!

[@branpod]

The only wide angle I have is a 12mm (used primarily for real estate) and often times that looks too wide, so I love using my tighter lenses and stitching them together.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Sounds like you have a great approach. Enjoy your shoots!

[@Anarki2U]

I f you need the same height as a 24mm lens, you will need a 35mm lens or else you will also need to stirch up and down with a 50mm. 24mm = 53 degrees vertical and 84 degrees horizontal, 35mm = 38 degrees vertical and 54 degrees horizontal, 50mm = 27 degrees vertical and 40 degrees horizontal

[@TheSlantedLens]

Wow, you did you math. Thanks for sharing!

[@brianbeattyphotography]

I mean yeah, you can shoot pano's and keep a relatively normal perspective. But the other focal lengths provide distortion & compression that you can use to your advantage when photographing that a 50mm just can't replicate (even when stitched into a vertical pano). To each their own though!

[@TheSlantedLens]

Exactly. To each his own. Thanks for your comment!

[@green856w]

So what size sensor are you using with this 50mm? Is the lens intended for a full frame camera? If it is, and you use it on an APC sensor, then it will become closer to a 70 or 75m focal length.

[@jimrinaldi8357]

This can work well. I have used a 50mm on an APSC camera, equivalent to a 75mm on FF. The field of view is narrower so it requires more shots. The result is the final image has more pixels so is potentially sharper. Still, I prefer the using the 50mm on my full frame. Either can work well.

[@peterfritzphoto]

This was sooo good!! I love my nifty-50 for landscapes, but I never even considered this aspect of it. Bloody brilliant - thank you!! Oh, and g'day from Australia!

[@TheSlantedLens]

G'day to you as well! Thanks for watching!

[@RiccardoPareschi]

Nice video, thanks! Yesterday I took some landscape photography in the woods with my old Nifty Fifty. Although I am more comfortable with a wide angle lens (ie 35mm) using the 50mm it was fun and interesting. I’m a fan of panoramas and the 50mm focal length gives more natural and well-balanced images when attaching horizontal or vertical shots.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Glad to hear it. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@carlmcneill1139]

I don't even own a 50mm lens. I have a 24-70mm and a 40mm. I know I can use either lens but the 40mm has become my favorite. It is so sharp. I bought it for street photography.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Sounds like a nice lens. Enjoy your street photography!

[@dps6198]

From 1936 to 1937 and from 1946 to 1971 when Canon's first interchangeable lens camera hit the market standard lens for 35mm photography was the 50mm. For 26 years the 50mm lens was king and millions upon millions of photos were taken with the 50mm. Kodak's earliest film cameras were just a bit over 50mm. Then it was abandoned when interchangeable hit the market. Photographers became lazy because the zoom lens took the walking out of equation of the prime lens. I might return to my roots and sell all my lenses except the 50s.

[@mattsmoviemagic8123]

Hey, J.P. Matt here. Just watched this vid. I have a 50 mm lens *as well as a 75 - 100 mm lens. Since I'm still fairly new to photography I was wondering whether my 50mm was enough or not. You've given me good and encouraging confidence in what I'm doing in order to become a better photographer. Thank You!

[@TheSlantedLens]

Glad to hear it. Keep on working at it and you will master the craft!

[@creatorsjourney6286]

Lol. Very nice. I am still taking my 24-70mm just in case 😂🤣 there are too many times where I find composition that is too close to do that with. Have you done a focus stack pano? That would be fun to see you do 😉🤙🏼

Another benefit of stitching images is that you have more than enough data to correct the curve and still have a higher-quality image than a single shot. Also, focus AND exposure should be set to manual.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Great points. Thanks for sharing!

@@TheSlantedLens I ended up going to the Jade Cove area. Got a room at Ragged Point Inn (which has incredible views itself) and for 2 days clicked away at the ocean. All the deep blues and waves. Cliffs everywhere. Driving on Rt. 1 and just enjoying this fantastic State! Even got a picture of a hummingbird for the first time. I did do the 50mm. I haven't uploaded pics yet as I just got back yesterday. I do look forward though to seeing how everything came out. Great tip that I can see using often!

[@TommyClark]

Do you think this would still work well with a 40mm equivalent? I like it more for its viewing angle on its own, and it's even lighter.

[@CallMeRabbitzUSVI]

Yep will work can confirm

[@Anarki2U]

A stitched images with a 35mm will be more like a 24mm lens, so a 400mm are better in that way than a 50mm lens. 24mm = 53 degrees vertical and 84 degrees horizontal, 35mm = 38 degrees vertical and 54 degrees horizontal, 50mm = 27 degrees vertical and 40 degrees horizontal, so you can see that when a 35mm lens used for vertical (54 degrees) shots to make panoramas it is very close to the 24mm (53 degrees).

[@TheSlantedLens]

It should work. Just be aware of distortion on the sides.

[@RichardBO9]

40mm Sigma Art f/1.4 works awesome. I like it better than 50mm.

[@413TomaccoRoad]

Usually when I have tried 24 or 35 mm for a landscape. I really felt uneasy about what a lie the rendering is compared to what you see with your eye. Henri Cartier Bresson had a nice career shooting mainly with a 50mm on a Leica rangfinder.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Great points. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@daesong1378]

It’s not really mentioned in the video, and this isn’t exclusive to 50mm, but the really big advantage to stitching is that you can maintain that “compression” of 50mm while getting a “wider” final image. Explaining further; have you ever looked at old landscapes like Ansel adams, they used large format cameras. If you tried to get the same image with a full frame camera, you’d have to use a wide angle lens. The issue with a wide lens is that it will push your subject further away. Making it look smaller in your frame, big mountain ends up looking like small mountain. The wider the lens the more of a problem this is. Stitching lets you get that wide majestic shot while using a long lens so that your mountain doesn’t end up looking like a small hill. You could say that it lets you imitate the result you would have gotten from using a large or medium format camera.

[@TheSlantedLens]

I think I say those things in other words. Great explanation. Thanks for sharing!

[@jmpattillo]

Do longer exposures mess up the stitching? It seems like moving clouds might be harder to stitch

[@TheSlantedLens]

Moving clouds and other things do affect the stitching and you will have to go in and do some editing to those details.

The hand tip is great :D Also with bracketing :D

[@TheSlantedLens]

[@m2fsr]

I do this often, using from 28 mm to 300mm. I like the 50mm because of zero distortion.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Exactly! The zero distortion is the main reason for the 50mm!

[@jamesmlodynia8757]

While this may be a useful technique to use it has its limitations, if you are photographing and scene in which you can have a moving element like a ship coming out to sea or a seascape with waves taken multiple shots and stitching them together might not work, if you're shooting a sunrise or sunset at the ocean the lighting will change very quickly so that may give you problems and the focal length may not be long enough.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Some things to consider depending on what you are shooting.

[@ernie61kim]

i take my backhand to start and palm to finish.

[@TonyCrenshawsLatte]

I've never been one to stitch photos in post, and I usually hate the wide-angle look to my landscapes (because that's not what I see with my own eyes). I really like your reasoning for 50mm, and I think it might be exactly what I need. Thanks!

[@pictureeyecandy]

Well, if the wide-angle look is not for you, You could shoot in a grid pattern to have more detail to print large without having a large megapixel sensor. The technique is called Fake medium format with a DSLR if you want to just play around with a new technique if you never tried it.

[@TheSlantedLens]

[@StuartMcGlennon]

This video may have been passable if it had been framed along the lines of ‘50mm is great for panoramas’, but to distill landscape photography down to ‘just shoot 50mm’ is absolutely absurd. As a professional landscape photographer, this is exactly why I despair of KZbin at times. Yes 50mm is useful for producing panoramas close to the human eye perspective, but to title ‘it’s all you need’ is clickbait gibberish being spouted by people nowhere near qualified enough to give an informed opinion. It’s why beginners that I see on workshops all the time now are starting out believing this nonsense because they see this crap on KZbin by someone who can produce a reasonably polished video and think it’s correct. Photography fast food nonsense which helps no-one.

[@TheSlantedLens]

No so. Many very accomplished landscape photographers use this approach and have very lucrative careers with it.

[@StuartMcGlennon]

@@TheSlantedLens if you’re suggesting many successful landscape photographers shot some of their panoramas at 50mm you’d be correct, that’s just common sense. If you’re saying as your title suggests and as you seem to imply in the video that all you need is a 50mm lens for landscape photography, well you’re talking nonsense.

This is a way to get large image files for large fine art prints.

Try it some time. You might like the results!

The problem with this type of photography think that all you need is one lens for landscapes or events or any other types of photography this type requires time and more work on the computer and does not work for all types of landscape photography, not everyone wants to be tied to a tripod for each and every photo that they take and if you are working with a group they may not want to wait until you are finished taking 10 photos to make one picture that you can screw up if you're not careful enough with what you are doing.

Would not recommend this for a group shot.
