A 21-frame pano

Aug 28 2026 | By: Jim Zuckerman Photography

This is a 180 degree, 21-image pano of a braided river in Iceland. Because I'm not a fan of the extreme panorama format -- long and very narrow -- I used generative expand in Photoshop to add more area to the sky and to the bottom of the image. Now the aspect ratio is close to 2:3. Once I give the command to create a pano image of 180 degrees, the built-in camera automatically takes the 21 frames and then, while the drone is still flying, it stitches all the frames together so I can assess the image 'on the fly', so to speak. The technology, both the software and the hardware, is truly incredible. My settings were -- and I had the exposure on automatic -- were 1/8000, f/1.8, and 240 ISO. This was shot with the equivalent to a 24mm wide angle lens from 230 feet in altitude.
