I haven't done many of these, I really need to do more.

Andrew, To answer your question the setup is correct, and there are many ways to merge the photos.
I use a program called Autostitch. Don’t use polarizers since the different sun angle will mess you up.
Also lock the white balance and exposure so you do not have to mess with them, they'll never match up
right in the end. I suppose you can correct white balance in a raw workflow.

Here are a couple of mine.






Thanks, Jeff

Nice work all!!!

James, that long one is 7 shots stiched together....my first big pano.

Tony, what program did you do the stitch in? I see a problem I have had in a LOT of my panos is blend lines in the snow (its so dang hard to hide blends in the snow like that.) If you have CS2, download CS3 and restich in that using the new and highly improved pano tool.....it not only aligns and stiches...it autoblends to keep lines down...and it really does an amazing job without any inpur (just a warning though...it seems to work best in the rounded mode....(about 3rd or 4th option down from auto)

Roman,

I'm glad to hear that Adobe has improved the stitching in CS3. I found stitching in CS2 to be problematic.
PanoramaMaker4 does seem to do a pretty good job in blending its stitches.
The most difficult problem I've had with stitching is ocean panoramas.
The constantly moving surf and waves make it almost impossible to get smooth stitches.
I've even tried timing the waves to try and get them to line up. This helps but is very
hit or miss. Usually I have to go in by hand and try to blend the surfline. Here is one
of the pier in Oceanside CA that was very challenging (not exactly a "nature" shot but
illustrates the point).

I really had not noticed that snow until you pointed it out. It really shows up after being compressed 4 times! Thanks for pointing that out, I'll have to look it over. I used pan maker 3 to stich that and with only one gig or ram, it took about 20 minutes! LOL

good point glamson, it looks like it's hard to stich moving subjects that have a single line! My bear shot was three shots starting first with bear and moving left for the other two. . . so that was easy becasue I shot the bear, it was moving, but paned left to a static landscape.

that's a cool shot!

Tony,

That one with the bear was great. As I panned it to the right, I was expecting more landscape
and it was a surprise to see the bear. I have a pano with a the same bicyclist in all four frames that
is kind of interesting (I can't seem to find it). I just followed him with the camera pan for the panorama.

Here it is. First pano ever.
Flawless if you squint!
6 shots. I still need to figure out a few camera settings, but I think I have the gist of the technique down.
Can't wait to capture a beautiful Kansas sunset to share.



You all give superb tips and info for us amateurs.

Thanks!
