Here are three panos that I took. The first one was taken as a pano because there were to many people in back of me that I could not back up enough to the the shot in one picture. So I just took two and created the picture on Photoshop. The second one was taken because I could not get the entire photo in one shot. I was on top of a retaining wall with nowhere to go. The second has 15 shots, 3 different 5 shot hdrs. Same with the third shot of the grand canyon. If I backed up people would have walked between me and the rim I was standing on.

This panorama view is crude compared to the digital panorama cameras, of course, but it was taken with an Automatic Rolleiflex and a Rollei Panorama head with click stops and a built-in level. The view is what Hitler saw through his two-story-high picture window of his Berghof villa above Berchtesgaden, only in 1946 it was a bombed out wreck. Note the bomb craters in the snow fields. The building was later completely destroyed. I was totally alone when I visited it in 1946.

Awesome Panorama Richard..

I can't speak for others, but by cropping a single image taken with a wide angle lens reduces resolution and details, i.e you're throwing away pixels. Using multiple images taken with a longer lens and stitching them together increases resolution and increases detail of the same image.

Now that's an explanation I can live with! Thanks, Mike!!!

PS I've never done a panorama, but who know what the future holds...lol

Everything you've said, Mike, is correct. However, if the photographer does not have ambitions to sell his pictures or to enlarge them before printing, my way is simpler and cleaner. The following are three single-image panoramas, which are horizontally cropped. I think they've turned out quite well. What you see here is 'saved-for-web', i.e., reduced to 600 pixels at the horizontal sides. Yet, they still maintain, IMO, acceptable detail.

The bridge image was tweaked as far as straightening perspective lines goes, all three had the routine tweaking done, such as sharpness/contrast/color balance/etc.

Most of mine are interiors shot during choral events.

#1 A formal request from late 2018
It was an 8 shot, hand held, pano - Lightroom couldn't handle it, but PS did ok (with a lot of lens correction (perspective)). I only had 5 minutes to do the shoot.
Next time I would physicallly move the camera a few feet for each shot instead of just standing in the same spot and rotating it. Also a small step ladder would have helped.

#2 was shot earlier this month. A 5 shot hand held horizontal pano. LR handled it ok.

#1 This was a request

Well done, Richard, the lighting, the contrast, the color balance, the sharpness, the composition - all well done!
Next time I am engaged in something like this, I will try to linearly move from shooting spot to shooting spot to diminish the 'barrelling' effect at the vertical sides. Thanks for the inspiration!

This is a sideline that I enjoy doing for unknown reasons. I usually put 5 - 7 photos together. I'll have a few questions to ask also, so c'omn on by and have fun.

Up early as I'll be out all evening....

Here are a few of my panoramas, including some that I've posted before.

The first pano is of the Madison River in Yellowstone. I was struck by the tranquility of the view on a beautiful spring afternoon. I took 5 handheld images in portrait mode and stitched them together in LR for the final image.

The second pano is of Yosemite Falls taken from Cook's Meadow on an early winter morning. The meadow was flooded from heavy rains the day before. With no winds yet, the water was like looking into a mirror. It was 15 handheld images, 5 wide and 3 high, stitched together in LR.

The third pano is of the Getty Villa Courtyard in Pacific Palisades, CA using an iPhone 6. This was made using the phones pano feature that stitches while your taking the shots. This was the easiest pano to create. I just cropped the final image and converted to B&W.

The fourth pano is a view of the Battery Point Lighthouse in Crescent City CA. It was a single image taken with a wide angle lens and cropped to a pano-like aspect ratio to create the final image.
