Using shift lens to make panorama image with stitching

25 minute video.

In this video, I walk you through the process of capturing a stitched panorama image of a ballroom at the Marriott Hotel in Minneapolis. Using my 30mm GF tilt shift lens, I shot multiple sets of three images to create a seamless final product, which is technically challenging but yields great results. I also discuss the importance of lighting and how I worked with a stylist to position the flash for optimal effect.
