Thanks renomike and Perry. When the picture in front of me is right, I love taking pano's. PS does a good job of stitching.

A small correction to your # 5: The sensor location is better known as the "film plane" not the nodal point. Rather, the camera should be rotated around the optical center, or non-parallax point (NPP) to avoid distant objects within the image to shift in relation to one another. A real headache for panorama photographers.

Julian,

Thanks for clearing that up. There is a lot of pano misinformation out there and I don't want to be responsible for spreading around anything that isn't correct.

Don't tell anybody but for some of my far away landscape panos I handhold and rotate my body with the camera held to my face. Not even close to correct form but with a distant horizon you can get away with it. ;-)

Seeing as how I'm a rookie,I didn't,and don't still,know or actually understand half of the rules,or the "non-rules.I just did what you just said (holding the camera & turning my body).I was also using a FujiS1800 digital camera w/ a slight zoom.I guess it came out ok(or you guys were just being nice).Jen.

You're being modest; that is a great shot. I am going to try your method to see if I can finally get a good pano. Thanks for sharing.

Took this one just this morning from the front yard.
It's a 3 stich vertical shot pano. I was a little late, as the sun was already peeking over the hill, giving a blow out in that area.

Second one in B&W....

Mike

Nice pano, Mike.

I am partial to the color pics more than the B&Ws.

Mike,

Outstanding! I like them both. The color is good for the lower half and the B&W is good for the upper half. I saw something in Outdoor Photographer for combining color and IR in Photoshop by Dewitt Jones a while back. Maybe a search of their website might provide the info?

Again, good job!

Eric

Thank you very much. That pano is from the Wormsloe Plantation in Savannah GA, not very far from Bonnaventure Cemetery, another great spot for panos and IR.

I've tried and I've tried and I've tried, but I just don't get it right. I put camera on a tripod, the shutter on a long exposure, and I swing the camera all the way across from the left to the right, and they always come out blurry. MAN! I guess I'm just going to have to get the manual out and read up on this panorama thing.

I wish I knew. The pawn shop where I got it from, someone had ground off the name and serial number, but the price was right, under ten bucks. I think it may have originally been a film camera someone tried to convert. That might be part of the problem.

Gizzy whicker,

Perhaps if you posted an image or two we could help you. If you really want to learn how to do a pano just refer to the first post in this thread and there are some general guidelines there. Then post an image or two and we'll see if we can help you get a decent pano.

I am amazed at all of the great panos here, a dedicated group of shooters specializing in a niche area.

Eric

Thank you very much. Here's another from very near the first location.
