so how do you create panorama photos using your Mavic DJI Mavic Pro Air or
the Platinum In this video I will share with you how I do it so if you have a
drone and you love photography like me this video is for you
welcome to my channel here I post my travel short films but I also make
videos just like this one where I share some quick and easy Photography Tips
that anybody can follow so if you're new to this channel consider to subscribe I
just came back from New Zealand beautiful nature really nice people
fantastic coffee I strongly recommend a visit and I'm working on a couple of
videos that hopefully will inspire you to go as well stay tuned I will post
them in the next weeks end in New Zealand I also used my Mavic to take
some panoramic photos now I am sure that you remember the best settings to use to
take photos with the Mavic but if not you should have a look at this video first
first of all why do you want to take panoramic photos in the first place well
let's have a look at some images... here we go so this is a a single shot taken from the
Mavic this is a panoramic taken from the Mavic from the exact same point
another one again single shot panoramic so you get it right there are some
scenery in my opinion where a single shot just doesn't do it and also
sometimes actually a lot of times at our eye level there is a lot going on trees
people cars electricity poles houses all these things will clearly interfere with
the serene panoramic landscape image that we wanted to create so the unique
point of view of the Mavic and its gimbal of course come really handy
basically basically is like having a tripod and be able to place it wherever
I want in the sky
so how I created the images that you just saw I will tell you it is really
easy and I know that you could use the PANO mode built-in into the app and let
the Mavic do it all by itself but I don't like that I feel I don't have
enough control and so I prefer to use the same method that I use when I take
my panorama photos with my DSLR and my tripod where I take a bunch of vertical
images and then I will stitch them together in Lightroom it is super easy
let me show you how
so now you're looking at the DJI go 4 app and this
image is coming straight from the Mavic basically of course the first thing you
want to do is to be in the photo mode so just above the record button you will
have the option to choose camera video camera or photo camera go on the photo
once you're in the photo right below the record button select the settings you
want to go in the last of the three where you can actually decide you can
actually pick the portrait capture mode and as you can see the Mavic camera
switched from landscape to portrait you want to use the portrait mode as with
multiple vertical images you'll be able to get more content from the top and the
bottom of your scene while the landscape or regular mode will give you a very
shallow and in my opinion almost unusable photograph so now that you are
in portrait mode make sure that there is not a lot of wind look at your scene and
decide where do you want to start and finish your panorama
maybe using some visual reference point and then left to right it doesn't really
matter but I always start from the left start taking your vertical images trying
to overlap image to image by at least one-third so that in Lightroom the
software will easily recognize that is the same scene and will do a better job
in stitching let's go back to Lightroom and see how to merge those images
together and create a panorama photo so these are my ten images that I used to
create one of those panoramic photograph and as a first thing what I will do is
that I will click command a to select them all at this point
I will go into the menu I will choose the menu photo and select photo merge
and select panorama I prefer to use the spherical option and I will just wait
for Lightroom to stitch the images together and as you can see this is the
final result let me put the auto crop so you can edit the single vertical photos
before merging or you can decide to edit the panorama altogether and this is what
I'm going to do right now this is not a Lightroom tutorial but I will do a very
quick edit just to complete these workflow as you can see from my
histogram I don't have any clipping I'd like to do a few few adjustments so I
will bring down my highlights and I would bring up just a tiny bit the
shadows I will adjust the whites and blacks and these is already a little
better bringing up my clarity a little bit of vibrance
and a tiny tiny bit of saturation maybe I went too far in the tone curve I will
give a medium contrast to the image and this will make the image already a
little more vivid as a very last thing I will add a little bit of vignetting
and I will adjust my midpoint the roundness and the feather and I can
maybe go a little further to drag the attention of the viewer in the center of
the scene on my laptop I didn't I didn't update Lightroom yet so the Dehaze is
right in the effects while in the newer version is is included in the basic panel
anyways I will add just a tiny bit of Dehaze and this is it you can see the
before and after and of course with very few adjustments we can see how different
the new image look and hope you like it
and this is all for today if you have any questions just write a
comment below I do respond next week some more Photography Content
as I will talk about how I took and edit this photo so if you like this quick and
free tutorial and you feel to give back now is the time consider to like this

you in the next video
