Panoramic images 


A panoramic picture is an image that shows a wide view of a scene, they can be made in different media.
Most panoramic images are made in photography, with a selection of methods available such as specialist lenses, digital editing and panoramic cameras.

In our project we will be using digital editing, with a technique referred to as stitching where images taken in a cylindrical fashion are put together using a editing programme.  In my case i will be using adobe Photoshop cs4. The final outcome is a 360 degree panoramic image that has been digital put together.

Brief

A simple lay out of the objectives we are required to achieve

AF102   Visual Communication
Assignment 1: 50% Weighting
Assignment title:  Creating panoramas for the web

Brief
We are required to produce at least two cylindrical panoramas for web distribution using a camera, Photoshop and some given HTML/CSS/jQuery code. 

we should take all the photographs yourself in two or more locations to make at least two combined images (long shaped images) which will be constructed in Photoshop. 

We may use a narrative if it helps

We will save the stitched images as .jpgs at appropriate sizes and proportions for bringing into the html model for cylindrical panoramic interactivity.
