Maybe a little work on getting all your verticals aligned (doorway, paneled wall) - try adjusting your camera height or correct in PP.


I dropped the camera to where the verticals looked good in live view. I used the level in the camera to check things, but i obviously missed something.

Not to go back and try to light some of the details better...

How much effort is this worth? I'd sure rather be here working on my own front room than trying to square away a client. Takes time and practice.

I think getting all the verticals aligned is worth the effort as the eye/brain is very sensitive to angles (you can easily see 1/2 to 1 degree). This is something you can address (keystoning) in post processing if you’re a little off, and of course ther are tilt/shift lenses, but not inexpensive.

If you are rotating your camera on the tripod socket when panning, you are going to be misaligned frame to frame. You want the camera to be level left to right (the horizon) and top to bottom (not tilted up or down). Ideally, rotate on the nodal point of your lens... something you have to figure out based on the lens and focal length. Make sure you are sufficiently overlappng your frames. What PP software are you using to stitch?

The Canon 10-22 mm lens is a wonderful wide angle lens; however, it won't fit the Canon 5D Mark IIII as has been mentioned. It does fit the Canon 7D and will give you wide images but not the widest. I use both of these cameras and what I have found as a great wide angle lens for the Mark IIII is the Canon 14 mm prime. If you prefer a zoom lens, the Canon 16-35 is a great wide angle lens.
Neither of these lenses is inexpensive but they will give you a superb wide angle image.

Congratulations. I predict you’ll keep that lens for a long time - a lifetime investment and one of the Canon “Holy Trinity” of zooms.

All I can say is, ”WOW!". First two pics were living room and family room. I never expected to get such great coverage. Thanks ALL for the suggestions.

My first sensation was when the guy from the brown truck handed over the box and it felt like it was empty! So light weight!

Adventure to follow.
