Panoramic Photography

While there is no formal division between "wide-angle" and "panoramic" photography, "wide angle" normally refers to a type of lens, but this lens type does not necessarily image a panorama. A panoramic camera uses an image made with a digital camera and a panoramic camera lens, usually an ultra wide angle fisheye camera lens covering the normal film frame of 1:1.33 is not automatically considered to be a panoramaand a special panoramic head that fits on the tripod. An image showing a field of view approximating, or greater than, that of the human eye - about 160° by 75° - may be termed panoramic. This generally means that an image with an aspect ratio of 2:1 or larger, the image being at least twice as wide as its height. The resulting images take the form of a wide strip. Some panoramic images have aspect ratios of 4:1 and sometimes 10:1, covering fields of view of up to 360 degrees. Both the aspect ratio and coverage of field are important factors in defining a true panoramic image
