Soda Lake Carrizo Plain San Luis Obispo, California
Apr 11, 2019 22:08:20 #
The Carrizo Plain is about 2 hours east of San Luis, 3½ hrs from Los Angeles through some very beautiful countryside.
Two Panoramas first of the main portion of the lake, the second from the far shore with wildflowers.
Both Nikon D850, image 1 Nikkor 28-300 f/3, image 2 Tamron 70-200 f/2.8

Nice -just what I like in a panorama - the view the eye beholds.
To repeat, how many images? With what do you stitch?
Good Jobs!

Nice shots, as always. How many exposures in # two?
There were 12 exposures in both images. I have a gear drive tripod head, which makes it a lot easier to get decent overlap when shooting panos.
Photo merge was in Lightroom. Adjusted exposure on the first image of the string then synced to the rest then merged.

Thanks. In my limited experience, I have made adjustments to the merged product. Your method makes a lot of sense. Will try it next time.

I use Nodal Ninja's M1-L/S, not geared but indented for various degrees of turn

The reason I switched from a ball head to geared was from lens drop photographing the last lunar eclipse. I had a Tamron 70-200 and 2x converter on the D850 and the weight of the lens (yes on lens foot) caused moon to slip out of the center of the frame when composing a shot. Very frustrating.

I also have Manfroto's Jr. Pro geared head - which I bought for the same reason you went to the geared head. I use mine for shooting macro.
Have you considered a gimbal for a long lens? Balanced when mounting avoids the drop also

My longest is the 70-200, and a gimbal would be overkill.
