In Response to Golden Rule sorry I did not Quote Reply ....7 stations vertical orientation on DIY nodal rig 20% overlap at I believe 5 bracketed shots assemble in CS5 @ the time I processed this image as I only owned a d300 so to create images to print 50 or 60 inches wide it was the best I could do . The D 300 of coarse is a cropped sensor body And the 20mm 2.8 Nikkor had the field of view of 30mm . Thanks for viewing This was posted to show you can get wonderful panoramic images on a budget....

Up to a point, you are correct, but if you tilt a camera up, having the sensor not perpendicular to gravity does create 'unnatural' view that the brain rebels against, and this effect is more evident as the view becomes wider. For example, both views below were taken last Spring at 10mm with my Pentax KP. In both views I held the camera over my head, but the second one, the one I actually used by cropping out much of the street, all buildings appear to be basically parallel, as they actually are - the first one, tilted up it turns out, the leftmost and rightmost buildings look unnaturally tilting towards each other..

I see curvature on the lower photo - barrel distortion = much more disconcerting than tilting of straight verticals. The really strange effect of camera angle of elevation with wide angle lenses, as in your upper photo are obvious. And incidentally, the EVF of the mirrorless cameras show you that effect much better than the optical viewfinders do. - Another bonus of mirrorless.

I find tilting of straight verticals toward each other to be much more disconcerting - and of course neither is as much of a problem with photos that feature vegetation.
