  • Unlock the full grandeur of the natural world with Shooting Panoramas, an intensive masterclass led by professional landscape and travel photographer John Weatherby. While a single frame often fails to capture the immense scale of a mountain range or the sweeping curve of a coastline, this course provides you with the technical precision and creative vision needed to stitch together seamless, high-resolution masterpieces. Hosted on Pro Photo Courses, this program is designed to take the guesswork out of complex wide-angle photography, ensuring your final images are free of distortion and rich in detail.


  • John Weatherby, whose client list includes giants like Nikon, Google, and Pepsi, brings his signature "A-Z" teaching style to this specialized subject. The course begins in the field, where you will learn the critical importance of hardware and setup. John covers the essential gear—from leveling bases and nodal slides to the best tripod techniques—to ensure your panning is mathematically perfect. You will learn how to identify "no-parallax" points and master the manual settings required to maintain consistent exposure, focus, and white balance across multiple vertical or horizontal frames.
  • Moving into the digital darkroom, the course dives deep into the post-processing workflow that separates amateur snapshots from professional prints. John demonstrates how to use industry-standard software like Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop to stitch images with flawless accuracy. You will learn how to handle "difficult" stitches, such as those involving moving water, shifting light, or complex foreground elements. The curriculum specifically focuses on HDR panoramas—teaching you how to bracket exposures for each pane to capture the full dynamic range of a scene, from the brightest sunstar to the deepest shadows.
  • Beyond just "making the photo wider," this course teaches you the art of panoramic composition. You’ll discover how to lead the viewer’s eye across a massive field of view and how to utilize the extra resolution for large-format printing. Whether you are shooting with a mirrorless camera, a DSLR, or even a drone, John’s universal techniques are applicable to any equipment. By the end of this 400-word deep dive into the world of panoramas, you will have the confidence to tackle any landscape, no matter how vast. Stop cropping your vision and start capturing the whole story with John Weatherby’s expert guidance.
