Quick Panorama Using Adobe Bridge & Photoshop - Photography Tips by LondonBLUE Studios

Creating a panorama photo through Adobe Bridge using Photoshop CS6 is a very simple process with a wonderful end result. Since it's automated, not every image will turn out perfectly, but chances are better than not that it will come out well. As you know, I like to keep my instructions simple and to the point, so here it is…

1. Put all of the pictures you'd like to include in one folder. Make sure the images you've taken have an overlap. About 1/3 overlap seems to work well. (If there are additional photos in that folder that don't match up, Adobe will ignore them. However, if there are images that do fit together that you don't want in the image, you must place them in a separate folder otherwise Adobe will include those as well.)

2. Open Adobe Bridge and navigate to the folder with your images.

3. Choose the Tools Menu, Photoshop, then Process Collections in Photoshop. This will automatically process the panorama for you in Photoshop.

Your image will come out looking something like the image to the right. To make it look like the image above, I cropped and saved.

How to Manually Control Iris / Aperture / FStop on the Sony NEX FS100 - Cinematographer Tips by LondonBLUE Studios

As a student of Digital Cinematography at Full Sail University, I often have the need to explore the workings of my Sony NEX FS-100 beyond all that is automatic. Today I am exploring Iris/Aperture/FStop, and for those of you who don't know, those are all the same thing.

Your lens size and fstop are automatically tied to one another. The reason for this all comes down to how much light is getting to the lens. I'm not going to go into a huge lesson about aperture, but just trust me on this (check out more info on Shutter & Aperture).

You only need to do two things to get the fstop under your control. Personally, I like pictures that show me what to do as opposed to just being told, so here ya go…

1. Your camera must be switched to manual mode.
2. Press the Iris button.

Super. Easy.

And just to double check yourself, the "A" (for automatic) should disappear from in front of the f number.

Happy filming!
