Optimally tuning wide angled photos with panorama stands(Panorama photography)

              As a big fan of panorama pictures, you have concluded that sometimes it is very difficult to put pictures together to form a panorama. Especially when the photographed objects are relatively close to the camera.

             The culprit is the parallax shifting. When you are taking individual pictures for a panorama, and for that, using your body axis as the pivot, objects in the depth of the photos appear to have varying distances next to each other. Correspondingly, it is difficult to position them on one another while superimposing them in the photo editing.
              This effect can be prevented using a special panorama stand. Thus, the pivot can be the so-called nodal-point. When adjusted correctly, the parallax shifting can be avoided fro closer subjects in the photo as well.
              The nodal-point is different depending on the camera; its position depends on the focal length. Usually, it is somewhat in the middle of the lens. Therefore, the pivot of the panorama stand is not fi xed in the area of the camera body thread, but can be freely moved in a wide area. While setting up, a lens with a fi xed focal length is advantageous. So, the following setting has to done only once. After mounting the camera on the stand fi rst tilt it slightly downwards and then align it to the center by marking a center.
