How to Create Jaw-Dropping Panorama Photography & then Print it!!

[@johnchambers6272]

Brilliant, lots of helpful information for printing and taking a pano. Thank you Adam.

[@Firstmanphotography]

Glad it was helpful!

[@csayban]

Honestly, I never considered using a 70-200 rather than my 24-70, but it really makes a lot of sense. Thanks, Adam!!

[@Twobarpsi]

A picture isn't a photograph, until it's printed!!

[@Firstmanphotography]

They deserve to enter the physical world.

[@Twobarpsi]

@@Firstmanphotography Yes! Exactly!!

[@mikehalsall8026]

Don’t forget to advise people to make sure their ink is full. No fun running out half way through a large print.

[@Firstmanphotography]

🫣Good point.

[@RickPott]

I thought the Canon Pro 1000 would determine the amount of ink needed prior to printing, and would prompt for a replacement if necessary vs running out during a print. At least that was my experience with the Pro300. I"ve only had 1 replacement cartridge on my Pro 1000 so far and it was either before or after the print that it prompted a replacement was needed. Unless of course you are refilling your own inks and then perhaps that's an issue. @@Firstmanphotography @mikehalsall8026.

[@Tetra84]

That’s a good question. If your ink is low on one or two cartridges, but not empty. You obviously don’t want to waste those inks. Would you take them out and replace with full cartridges, then put them back in for smaller jobs later?

[@Ruscombephotos]

Hi Adam, This was very much needed with all the horrors that are going on in the world right now. Thank you!

[@Firstmanphotography]

Thanks mate. means a lot.

[@MikeJones-yo8cf]

Great video. Also set a fixed white balance to ensure consistency - can always change in post processing.

[@Firstmanphotography]

Agreed. Although i've never had a problem using AWB when i forgot.

[@Stealthman42]

Adam, love the video. Couple of questions for you, 1). How often do you print using your Canon? and 2). Do you make your prints in a batch to save setup time or ? Thanks again for your informative video!

[@Firstmanphotography]

Hi mate.....I use it several times a week. I don't batch print. I print the photographs I make on a shoot (usually 3-4), then I print to order for sales.

[@JorenVaes]

I'm very interested in buying a printer, but my wife and I just don't have the room for one for now. We have one of the pixma tiny printers which we love, but right now still send out our prints to a print house. I really love the idea of being able to gift pictures - I can only imagine that some of our friends would love a high-quality print of their children etc... One day... One day...

[@Firstmanphotography]

Absolutely!!

[@craigpiferphotography]

I was just telling my wife that I needed to slowdown when I'm taking photos. I recently shot a few panoramas, but I'm lazy and did them all handheld. Normally this works without any problems, however I found more than one that were essentially ruined because of 1 or 2 images that showed some obvious camera shake. It was very disappointing, however I did get a few that came out just fine. Definitely needing to remember to use a tripod and take my time instead of feeling rushed. I definitely need to play with using my 70-200 for shooting panos - great tip. Also wanting to see about getting them printed as it's probably been over 10 years since I had one printed. Thanks for sharing your workflow.

[@RickCarroll-Canada]

Thanks Adam from Ottawa Canada.

[@Firstmanphotography]

Thanks Rick. Always love to hear from you.

[@RickCarroll-Canada]

My pleasure as always. Hope that all is well in the UK.@@Firstmanphotography

[@jasonlacey5979]

Brilliant.. Thank you Adam

[@Firstmanphotography]

Appreciate you watching Jason. Thanks

[@musiqueetmontagne]

Thanks for uploading, some sound advice.😊😊😊

[@Firstmanphotography]

Appreciate your time

[@paulbell9957]

Beautiful work Adam 😊

[@Firstmanphotography]

Thanks Paul

[@scotty4418]

The 2 images were stunning Adam and I have my Pro 1000 up and running as watching your videos and use of the Pro 1000 convinced me to move up from thr Pro 10s. Just need to get paper for pano printing so will definitely check out the Canson as i want to get my black amd white fine art image of canary wharf printed and hung in my room

[@Firstmanphotography]

That’s gonna look great.

[@rlfisher]

I have made a lot of panoramas, and still got some great tips here. I will now be more conscious about using my longer lenses (and avoiding my wide lens). In addition to fixed focus, iso, aperture, shutter speed, do you recommend avoiding auto white balance?

[@Firstmanphotography]

I generally set the white balance manually (doesn’t really matter which if you’re shooting RAW, just whatever you prefer), although I’ve often shot them on auto white balance. Even if the AWB shifts, a natural shift in white balance across a scene isn’t necessarily a bad thing and it’s what your eyes would do anyway.

[@peterhaanschoten]

Hello i have just bought the canon pro 200 and have a question about the paper for panoramic photo's because i saw the Canson infinity paper but it's only to get in rol BARYTA PHOTOGRAPHIQUE II MAT 310 GR/M² - ROL 17" X 15,24M but i think this is not working for the canon 200 so can you give me advise what paper is the best for panoramic photo's on the canon 200 printer ? and you can buy this also in the netherlands ! Thanks btw i like your video's

[@Ruscombephotos]

This is brilliant. Does the paper you used come in long sheets, or in rolls that you have to cut?

[@Firstmanphotography]

Hi mate. it’s a roll. I just cut it roughly the right length with scissors and tidy it up after the print with the slicer.

[@Jazztpt]

A good watch, would be interested to know how the costs work out to print something like that, paper ink etc

[@Firstmanphotography]

About the same as two and half A2 prints. well worth it.

[@paulbarnard5267]

Where did you get your roll paper flattener? It did a great job. Both the panos were spectacular. Large prints always look great. Framing is a pain though.

[@Firstmanphotography]

Yeah. I take them to a framer. I think they look good mounted on a board too which is a bit cheaper. I made the flattener myself by taping some Lino (which I cut from a backdrop) and sticking it (using duck tape) to a small diameter packing tube. It works perfectly.

[@paulbarnard5267]

⁠@@Firstmanphotography good tip on the lino. I made one from a repurposed roller blind but it doesn’t work anywhere near as good as yours does.

[@ScottLiddle-ik9ez]

Can you recommend a smaller panorama paper?

[@Firstmanphotography]

You can just print it onto a normal paper (eg. A2, A3+, A3) and then trim it down.

[@kreygscott]

Which lens collar are you using for your 70-200 F4L? I'm thinking of getting one myself specifically to shoot panorama images as seen in this video.

[@mariaaaen9239]

Hi, thanks for all your good and informative content🙂 I have a question about photo gear, hope you have some tips. I am looking for a laptop good for edit photos, but not extreme expencive, do you have some tips? And also tips about mirrorless camera that might could help expand my photo skills? Thanks if you have some ideas 🙂🙂

[@kristijanignjatovski4415]

And what paper do y use Adam?

[@Firstmanphotography]

Canson Infinity Baryta Photographique II in the case.

[@adriasc79]

Great Video, Is the border not equal in every side? Can you tell us about the paper and being , as it seams in the last moments of the video, not parallel to the print? Why and how can we prevent that to happen?

[@Firstmanphotography]

It's just about lining it up a little more accurately......but it also doesn't matter!! The border is not for display. The white space would either be cut off to attach to a board, or used to attach to a mount where you would only see the printed area, ready for framing.

[@Firstmanphotography]

If you wanted a paper border it would just be a case of printing a little smaller and then trimming down to size.

[@jameswalker7874]

I love the Pro 1000, it's print and build quality is superb. However, unfortunately the sheer quantity of ink it wastes put me right off and made me go Epson. While the cartridges for the Pro 1000 are the biggest out there, and would have sold me the printer, it uses too much of the ink on maintenance (even when the printer is in regular use). If it was printing constantly, all day every day, the timed cleans would become negligible, but when only printing a small number of prints per week, it makes a massive difference.

[@FendaSantana]

Hello. How can I get that paper for panoramic photos?

[@bolleolympus]

I have this printer, buth you need spesial equipment to print so long pictures, and you do not show that

[@Firstmanphotography]

like what? I showed everything I used. apart from scissors that I used to cut the paper from the roll. if you update to the latest firmware you’ll be good to go.

[@bolleolympus]

There is no paperrollholder for this printer. I have asked Stavangrfoto and they say that I can not use paper bigger than A2@@Firstmanphotography

[@BartRosfotografie]

I dunno really. I love doing panos. But I feel its only useful for zooming in to elements and make them huge. Otherwise panos are kinda useless. You end up with a huge spaces with no real subjects and no real leading lines. Boring.

[@rkellermusic]

Im having issues with "cant detect image size" and paper jam while starting to print pano on pro 1000. Ive been using the printer for years on all sizes and the best paper.. but still cant get the paper to load in correctly for Pano , any ideas?
