The Panorama As a Means of Expression

The panorama in more frames can also be used as an artistic means, which can be very useful for rendering something similar to the perception of the human eye.
Our eyes have a visibility angle of one hundred sixty-one hundred seventy degrees, therefore, you can render vast spaces, which can include a large number of details.
However, the problems appear when there are deformations of the perspective, if the panoramas are very wide (about one hundred seventy-one hundred eighty degrees), if the composition is not very good because of the fact that you want to render more without taking into consideration the composition rules and without looking for an artistic logic of the presentation and when an uninteresting area is too wide.
As far as the deformations of the perspectives are concerned, these appear because of the relationship between the angles and because of the distance between the objective and the subject.
If you want to photograph areas wider than eighty or one hundred degrees with an objective which has a very small focus distance, you will see some fugitive lines in the pictures.
If you have an ordinary objective, these lines can be removed using a certain computer program.
These corrections sometimes lead to flatter images.
If you have a visibility area of one hundred seventy-one hundred eighty degrees and you take your photos with a fish eye objective, the picture appears as a circle because of the impossibility of rendering a semi-sphere in a rectangular way.
If you get the same pictures from taking parts of the panorama, the deformations are minor.
The central area will be a bit swollen and the edges will seem further away.
In case you have such problems, it is very good to know that all these details can be adjusted in Photoshop or in other such programs.
