In this thesis, we described the process of creating high dynamic range panoramic photographs from capturing a photograph to the finished image. In the introduction, we focused on the development of photography techniques and described the high dynamic range technique in detail. We presented panoramic photography and the advantages of high dynamic range panoramic photographs. We then listed the photography equipment needed for capturing panoramic photographs. We outlined the planning and preparation for capturing photographs and the complete process of capturing, during which it is important to pay attention to the camera's settings to avoid mistakes and problems with editing. After the images are captured in the field, they are edited on the computer. This is done in three steps; the first step focuses on creating individual frames of HDR photographs in HDR Efex Pro 2. The second step describes merging partial frames into a panoramic HDR photograph in Photoshop. The third and the last step is the editing of the finished HDR panoramic photograph in Photoshop.
