Panasonic GH2: 42Mbps AVCHD Hack and Panorama Stitching
Panasonic GH2 Cinegraph 1080/24p
The Panasonic GH2 is the ultimate light-weight travel camera for pro quality images and hacked 42Mbps AVCHD video. I gave the GH2 a solid workout for 7 days shooting both video and stills. All video was shot at 1080/24p and the stills were shot in RAW, later to be stitched together for 34MP-46MP panoramas. Read on for details of the images and video created below. The video section has several great tips that apply not just to the Panasonic GH2, but to all HD video DSLR’s.
In the past, my landscape gear included a Nikon D2x or Canon 5DMK2 and several prime lenses, 24mm, 35mm, 60mm, and sometimes even the 85mm. All this gear, when packed into a Lowepro Vertex 200 AW Backpack, easily weighs in at about 25 pounds…..40 pounds with the tripod, ballhead, and panorama L-bracket. A heavy and steady tripod is important for those high scenic overlooks. The wind is always seems so calm in the parking lot 
Gosh, this backpack is almost as heavy as the 4″x5″ view camera I used to schlepp around on vacations between photoschool semesters.

Creating Easy Single-Row Panorama Image Stitches
Landscape photographers have enjoyed a love affair with large format cameras. I am speaking of 8 x 10 inch and 4 x 5 inch film cameras, commonly referred to as view cameras. My first one was a Calumet model and later a Sinar P2 4×5. One could make huge prints from the large negatives and slides. The drawback to large format view cameras is the weight of the camera and the tripod. Field cameras are lighter and reflect that in additional price.

How to Build a Product Photography Portfolio
Product or still-life photography includes food items, jewelry, electronics, beverages, and abstract images. In this article I will provide tips for creating a solid still-life portfolio. Everyone wants to shoot people, fashion, stock or weddings. Why compete in such a saturated market when food photography and other product work is relatively wide open. Shooting catalogs is not glamorous however it pays rather well in comparison to other work.

Panorama Image Stitching and Bracketed Exposures
Lets switch gears for a moment and discuss my two other favorite genres of photography, landscapes and architecture. In this article I will discuss 3 popular techniques that we can use for photographing subjects that don’t move…and I am NOT referring to an agency model that can’t pose worth a damn…LOL.

I will begin by discussing how we can create 30+megapixel by combining single-row panorama stitching and bracketed exposures used as layers (better and realistic looking HDR images) and finally including a 10 stop neutral density filter for surreal water-scapes.

Creating Easy Multi-Row Panorama Image Stitches
I am glad that you continued reading this article because the rewards of these images are great. Multi-row stitches open additional possibilities for both the commercial photographer and also the fine art landscape photographer. The multi-row image stitch has a few different requirements as far as hardware, both computer related and camera related. The shooting concept is very much the same as the single-row but our image usage will be for the high-end market, whether this is architects or fine art landscape prints.
