   Panoramic Techniques
When taking photographs of buildings or interiors, most people reach for a wide angle lens or set the equivalent wide view on their camera to squeeze everything in.

 This is okay on certain occasions but if its important for an image to look realistic and to appear as a fair representation of the original scene, a better option is available. At Borderpics, we apply panoramic photographic techniques to produce wide angle representations of important shots, especially for web display and for selling purposes.

Several images of a scene are captured, often using a standard lens. Using digital software, the images are then stitched together and perspective corrections applied if required. The result is far superior to the 'wide angle view' adopted by many photographers.



   

PANORAMIC PHOTOGRAPHS

Borderpics specialise in producing high quality panoramic photographs using modern digital techniques. Panoramic photos or panoscapes as they are sometimes referred to can be created from negatives, prints, slides or from digital images. Once transferred into digital form, similar techniques are applied to produce stunning panoramic photographs, each one individually hand processed and optimised to produce the best possible result.

At Borderpics, we use panoramic techniques regularly for general photography for several reasons; to produce wide angle views without distortion, to generate hi-resolution digital files for large poster size prints, or to retain natural perspective of a view or building.

Over the coming months, the galleries will feature an ever increasing number of panoramic photos, with the Scottish Borders featured extensively. These panoramic views make superb prints that can be enlarged up to 3 feet wide or more. Why buy artwork of some distant place when the Scottish Borders can be yours to view at leisure. We can provide framed prints at very competitive rates and remember, everything is manufactured by Borderpics ensuring quality throughout the complete process.

Please have a look at some of the samples below.

PHOTOGRAPHS OF KELSO: Millennium View -  Kelso.

PHOTOGRAPHS OF KELSO: Millennium View -  Kelso. A stunning hi-resolution panoramic photograph created from seven images. This panoramic view can be enlarged up to 45” wide x 12” high at 300ppi. Other sizes available. Please enquire.

This viewpoint was constructed to commemorate the Millennium  enabling visitors and locals alike to enjoy the views over the town of Kelso.

Originally suggested by two members of the Kelso Laddies’ Association, Tom Weatherston and Gordon Little, the idea was brought to fruition by generous donations from locals and support from various public bodies. It was opened by Provost Margaret Riddell on June 21st 2000.

Nisbet pond or Ploughlands pond as it is often referred to. Hidden by view from the road, it offers great scope for the photographer.
Not every panoramic photograph is created in landscape format. This colourful scene was made from three vertical images stitched together, the top part - sky, the middle section then the bottom section featuring the boat. The finished photograph is a very large digital file offering superb quality at two or even  three feet square.
