In this practical book, photographer Jeroen Jazet guides readers through several widely used special photography techniques from his day-to-day work. Topics include 360-degree panoramic photography, virtual tours, special filters, light painting, lens flare, and HDR photography.
In the digital age, creating photos with special techniques had become a popular subject. More and more photographers recognized the added value of a panorama, an HDR image, or a photo made with a special filter.
Each topic is explained step by step, from preparation through shooting and finishing with various software applications.
Why is the nodal point so important in panoramic photography? Which panoramic tripod head should I use? How do I correct stitching errors in PTGui? How do I add a hotspot to my virtual tour? How can I improve the design of my virtual tour? Which physical filters matter, and which can I simulate in Photoshop? How do I photograph fireworks and stars? How can I create spectacular images with steel wool? How do I achieve that mystical lens flare in an image? How do I make an HDR photo without making it look kitschy?
All the techniques in this book were exceptions to the usual rules. That exception might involve the image format, as with a panorama, or the surreal rendering of elements when using ND filters and light painting.
After reading this book, photographers could add these special techniques to their photographic toolkit and apply them in practice with confidence.
