I just learned yesterday how to take panorama shots with my Fuji XE-1, and one of the moderators suggested I post them here. I'm used to posting close ups of birds, turtles, ducks and otters from these ponds. These were taken with an 18-55 set at 18mm and panned about 90 degrees, handheld. The camera provides a horizontal line as you pan to keep you from raising the camera up or down. I suppose it would be best to use a tripod, leveled of course.

If this is your first attempt - you're way ahead. Yes a tripod will help, but as you see you do pretty well with hand held. Sometimes a pano that is less wide will allow the viewer to concentrate on a part of the image, which is quite often the challenge in shooting panos - finding something of interest that is not the entire 180 width of the scene. It does seem that you are off to a good start, though.
