if you do pano for tall building, or the interior of a cathedral, you better do pano in landscape mold and pan upwards.

That's beautiful. What do you use for stitching?

Linda can you tell me where all of these sub sections are in UHH? I posted a star photo a while back and someone mentioned the astrophotography sub section, and now the pano sub section. Can you tell me where to find all of these? Because when I post a new post, I have about 4 options of where I’d like to post, and these are definitely not one of them. I’d love to explore the rest of UHH that I’m missing! Thank you ☺️☺️

Absolutely no correct way. I have recently been experimenting with large panos both physical and numbers. Frankly for the "standard" panao I prefer vertical because I do not like the long thin look. I have been doing some rather large buildings where a single set of photos, either virt or hor just leaves me cold.

Please note you can shoot any number of rows or columns of overlapping shots which will give a much larger photo. In the case of your landscape try two rows of hor or some number of vertical. As a side bar, I do these all hand held. LR and the pano function is in credible in stitching almost any number of overlapping shots. Just be careful to overlap 25-30% just be accurate. Think of a simple 3x3 table with each entry a vir or hor shot producting one photo. Obviously you produce one very large file. If nothing else, if too big just crop it, you have a ton of pixels to spare

Wanna go real crazy try try a series of HDR and run that through pano - incredible more some difficultly lighted scenes. Again LR last year added a single HDR/pano option. Just feed it the set and it does hdr first and then pano second.

Maybe too much info but some food for thought.

Advice is to shoot in portrait however when I do that I usually end up cropping out a lot from the top and bottom, try some both ways, get a feel for it. Both work

Thank you pithy Doug and bobmcculloch, I guess I just need to expand my horizons and try new techniques.

Amen and thank you....so true ,exciting and potentially-expensive $$$$ if one is unprepared .

The normally accepted pano range is 2:1 to 3:1. Shooting in landscape tends to stretch this ratio - becomes too long and narrow - and becomes harder to view.

I like the 35mm FOV on full frame for vertical pans - and I use the Sony in camera sweep pano that takes 8-10 images and stitches them with astounding resolution !

Any examples to share?

I think I have shown this before - shot with a 24mm f2 Vivitar lens on a NEX-3 (14MP) @f5.6. - this was back in 2012 when not many had heard of Sweep Pano.

You'll get more depth in front of you if you shoot in a portrait position. Depends on what you're going after.

Thanks imagemeister
Good info. The response I've gotten from my inquiry will keep me busy for awhile.

tommystrat Loc: Bigfork, Montana

Thanks to you all who mentioned the "box" and "matrix" method of pano shooting. I was not really aware of this method, but after a couple of TubeYou videos I think I can give it a go! Love to learn...
