Once captured, I proceed to open all images within Adobe Photoshop’s Camera Raw plugin which uses the same raw conversion engine as Lightroom. The majority of images were shot at F/11, 1/60 sec at ISO 200. Not to mention, I had to avoid motion blur and freeze the sailboats that were floating in the harbour by shooting at an appropriate shutter speed. I only had a short period of time to capture all nine exposures and avoid any potential change in light quality or shadows length.
I had visited Akaroa in the middle of June which meant the afternoon sun was quite low in the sky due to the approaching winter solstice. Therefore, I decided to shoot using a longer focal length (82mm) to reduce potential stitching problems that occur at wide angles when not rotating the lens around its nodal point. Because I didn’t have any panoramic equipment with me, I wasn’t able to rotate the camera around the nodal point of the lens. To create my panorama, I started by capturing eight individual exposures (portrait format) that generously overlapped each other. Whilst on holidays, I had my Canon 5D, Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L lens, Manfrotto tripod and Lowepro backpack. Directly across the road from my accommodation is the sheltered harbour in all of its splendour and glory. Settled by the French in 1840, Akaroa is a charming and perfectly suited to capture the imagination of any aspiring photographer. The image I’m going to be working with today was photographed in a small town called Akaroa (75 kilometers east of Christchurch) on the South Island of New Zealand.
