Landscape Photography: Capture & Create High-Quality Panoramas in Adobe Lightroom Classic

Create professional-level panoramic photographs with any lens you have on hand and the tools available in Adobe Lightroom Classic!

Panoramas have the power to transport the viewer into the heart of a scene and create cinematic images which display the view in its entirety. Panoramas provide an expanded canvas for creative expression and storytelling, and digitally merging images together into a panorama allows you to overcome the challenge of capturing vast scenes with the lens you have on hand.

But not all panoramas are made equal: those created from photographs taken on DSLR or mirrorless cameras are far superior to anything you can capture using your phone camera, and that’s when using Adobe Lightroom comes into play.

As a photographer, I am passionate about candidly capturing the world around me and creating photographs which tell a story. And with this class, I invite you to explore panoramas as a photographic genre and learn how to create professional, seamless panoramas in Adobe Lightroom Classic.

In this class, I will cover:

• the historical background of panoramas as a creative genre, both in art and chemical photography;
• the pros and cons of creating panoramas using your phone;
• practical tips for capturing photographs for your panoramas using DSLR or mirrorless cameras;
• how to get the most out of the Adobe Lightroom Classic Panorama Merge tool to create captivating panoramas;
• how to finalise and perfect the look of your panoramas using Crop, Lens Correction & Transform tools.

By the end of the class, you’ll know how to create high-quality panoramic images and gain the confidence to explore this exciting genre of photography in your own work.

This class is designed for:

• landscape and urban photographers looking to level up their skills and create professional level panoramas perfect for large prints or digital displays;
• photography students who are looking to gain new technical skills and enhance their cultural understanding to support their studies;
• hobbyist photographers who are familiar with Adobe Lightroom or Lightroom Classic and interested in exploring panoramas as a photographic genre.

Even if you've experimented with creating panoramas before, I hope this class will help enhance your understanding of the tools needed to create perfect panoramas using different types of photographs!

Are you ready to start painting a fuller picture with your photographs? Join me in this class, and let's explore the expansive world of panoramic photography together!
