Ok Dave …. this video clarifies many doubts about my photography, because almost always I was never satisfied with my background, always with the elements seeming much smaller than our eyes could see. This is certainly the effect of the wide angle. Which leads me to consider that the vast majority of the images we see on the channels of the main landscape photographers are benefited by this technique of merging two or more images. Thank you so much for this video !! Greetings here from Brazil.
Hi Dave. What would happen if i just merged them together as a Panorama? will it Keep the effect of the lens distortion?
Really helpful, Dave. Great tips.👍 Thank! 👌
Dave, I have a problem when photographing a sunrise or sunset. The sky is bright but the foreground is very dark.how to solve this problem . Two exposures ? but how to get them and how to merge them in photoshop?
Dave, do you use filters ? Thank you for awesome video.Ewelina
So this only works with Wide Angel Len's ??
What's the minimum wide angle that this will work with???
I have a crop sensor camera using a Sigma Art 18 to 35mm len's will this Technic work on this Len's?
Sorry for so many Questions but keep up the good work..
what's going on here?!
so you're teaching how to distort objects while the main tendency in photography is to correct distortions… lmao
Nice work Dave, like your methods and the way you illustrate things. keep it up bro
Great efficient way to to this. Thanks for the tip!
Dave, thank you for the videos. Best landscape photography videos on the web! Straight to the point no bs. Would you consider to make file management video in the future?
+Dave Morrow at what focal length was this taken?
Why did you redo the focus and exposure for the second photo and try to match them in lightroom, rather than lock the exposure to take both photos with the same settings on the camera?
where's the link for free eBook?
Hi Dave,
Thanks for the informative video!!!
I understand that the video was created to only demonstrate the prospective blending technique.
To me, the reflections look a bit smaller than the mountains.
Did you fix the distortion for reflections in your final edit? May I ask how?
You can use Settings > Match Total Exposures so you don't have to eyeball the brightness between the two shots.
Very cool..thanks so much for sharing.
Hi Dave, great tutorial! I have a APS-C camera. Up to which focal length is this technique applicable. Only to ultra wide (e.g. 11-16mm) or also to say 18mm and above? Thanks!
hey dave, i do not see any difference between this and vertical panorama, vertorama, when you take two photos vertically but in a landscape, and put one on top of the other
Great tutorial and clearly taught. Thank you.. I notice you used a 14mm lens (full frame). My favorite has always been 24mm. Would that give enough distortion to the image to make your technique work with this higher focal length?
Why don't you open as layers in PS? lol. Jk
I get it. Everyone has their own work flow and to be honest, I don't like the tif files mixed in with my NEF files which are all on a Drobo 5D. It's something I really may change. It's an OCD thing but anyone into this level of photography is a wee bit OCD anyway – no? Lol.
Great work Dave. I love your stuff.
Hi Dave. Thanks for the video! Do you recommend using "spot metering" when capturing landscape pics; for ex, spot metering on mountains to get right exposure or evaluate metering works just fine for you?
great tip! thanks
Nice – different workflow. Could you later them and make canvas larger and then blend in the other image(s) also?? Just a thought
really helpful Thank you for nice video
Ho Dave! Great video! It's the first on youtube! NeXT note would be nice to see how you menage more diffucult blending with more texture/objects….

Nice tutorial and pace of describing what you're doing. Thanks!
Really gret tip, Dave. Thank you very much for sharing – I am looking forward to trying this!
Cool tut never done it that way. Thanks.
PS what lens are you using there?
Cheers
Great tips Dave
Thanks for the tip Dave! Good stuff.
Can't wait to try this!! This is Genius!!
amazing technique! good insights on the distortion effects and how to mitigate it. Although, if you had photomerged both the pics using PS, would the distortion fix go away? Again, thanks for sharing this interesting video 🙂
great post, dude. I learned a LOT on this. I've been wanted to learn how to get those massive/expansive wide angle landscape shots and have been thinking it's only done via a super wide lens. But I may not have to invest in a new lens if I do this. I have a kit zoom lens on my a6000 (16-55mm). I'm thinking I could go wider and not get the crazy fisheye distortion and apply what you showed here and get some stupid wide landscape shots. Thanks for posting.
awesome video Dave! well done!
Very good video. I will practice to try to make this part of my technique
Really cool technique!
Nice info, thanks for sharing!
