Panoramic Photography

>Why is this genre so unpopular
The majority of people shooting it have no idea how to compose a panorama and it shows. They shoot it as a gimmeck and people got tired of it.

But there are so many abstract ways to process them. It's like a trippy type of Ansel Adams landscape shot.

It's not unpopular, but most pics turn out boring...

Basically what this guy says

The trick to making a more visually interesting panorama is try to become surround by the subjects on all sides. It is very disappointing to take a panorama if all of the important objects are too distant/minimized. The technical obstacles took me about 3-4 years to overcome (avoiding the parallax errors, maximum possible resolution during stitching). I have a specific workflow to processing the images and It's typically 10-12 exposures to for me to make a spherical panorama.

It's not interesting. Composition is mainly a reductive process. This style of shot includes everything and nothing good is being done with it.

I don't like panoramas at all, but I like cropping some of my shots at 2:1 a lot.

>curved flare streaks
>exaggerated foreground
Would’ve worked much better as a couple of normals.

Not a big fan of panoramas, but sometimes a scene calls for it and for that I always have my phone on me.

I make a few pano once in a while but imo they are not suitable for screens/internet, you can appreciate them printed on walls.

I like shooting panos, but the only real usage I get out of them are as dual screen monitors at work. They're impractical to print out and impractical to view, but I do really enjoy them.

American movie star Jeff Bridges has a web site with his panoramas and a description of his camera. That description might give you some insight regarding your question. My answer to you is that I think panoramas are fickle.

idk bro it seems like really consistent for me, if done properly there is never any geometric deformity. the only difficult step which takes the most concentration is to remove parallax errors between misaligned images.
