That's it for now. Thanks for looking (and maybe post some of your own).

2:1 really is the best aspect ratio but anything noticably wide and letterboxed is just kino

>>4495246
I agree. Lately I've been composing for it more and more.

No reason for these to be so wide though
X-Pan is a format only fit for very specific use cases
Otherwise it just looks like you cropped for no particular reason

I stitched this from 3 photos. Otherwise, I usually don't go for the wide/XPAN ratios.

I should try 2:1 more often.

Continuing the theme of the Poor man's Xpan I taped the LCD screen of an old Pentax Optio LS1000 to give an Xpan-like view, then cropped later. The 27mm lens is sharp enough in the centre but gets very soft towards the edges.

it's great for if you ever print a book. You can have it go across two pages of a square zine/book

Another stitch from 3 photos.

This is something I'm going to have to try.

It's surprisingly fun, and you can capture a large amount of detail (as long as it's a still subject). Be sure to bring a tripod, though. Don't be like me and try to balance a 135mm prime in the wind with no built-in stabilizer.

Picked up a 2014 Nokia Lumia 930 with its 20mp camera (and a cracked screen, broken sim port and non-functioning flash) for £5. Fun for some larger resolution 'Xpan' photos.

Stitched years ago with Hugin (I think) from bunch 2015 AW100 handheld snaps. Camera also has a builtin panorama mode with artifacts galore handheld.
I used to post location tagged stuff to Panoramio before before Google devoured it.

As I posted previously, this is something to try (I haven't finished with these old Windows Phones yet). The only 'real' camera I've owned that had a panorama mode was my first digital camera – a Canon Powershot A70. I remember it being pretty good, but I never really used it.

Nice bread, OP. I've been fascinated with the format for while as well because my new phone's camera app has a built in xpan mode. Ever since, I've also been using my "real" camera for taking multi-shot panos quite a bit in the past year or two

>X-Pan is a format only fit for very specific use cases
I personally really like the format for high alpine photos. It lets you capture a sweeping landscape without making the mountains look small. It's also nice for dramatic subject isolation if you have a plain scene

That is a very good use-case indeed, look really good!
Putting three together often works really well when the subjects match this well

I enjoy these threads when they appear.
Though I usually crop to 12:5.
