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

Example from two days ago. Wanted to get the entire church to include the trees either side to frame , the head stones in he forefront F/11, 30mm, ISO 100. 6 shots vertical shots in 3 tiers of two with about 50% overlap.

I use this ICE which is super-fast and has choices of modes.
After the process, a new file with _stitch will be appended to the filename.
Sometimes(30%), I still need PS to patch up some blank spots(usually the sky) and Free Transform(usually on buildings) to correct the perspective.
Allow me to show two of my best panos

Those are incredible, where are they taken?

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.
.

Yes, it's familiar.

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...

Here are some free hand examples of pano stitching.

About 40% of my panos are hand-held.

It looks like you were not using a pano head (nodal head) to shoot the first pano - some stitching errors in the foreground. Very nice setting and light.

Likewise, if you are doing a tall vertical shot (tall tree or building), landscape is better for the same reasons.

The first one is in Trikala, Greece, on top of those mountains resides one of the better known Monastery of St. Stephen.
The lower one is Rainbow Mountain in Peru at 17,000ft. (very windy, can't set up tripod even if you have one)
They are all done by free hand, mainly because I need to travel light.
I switched from my D610 with 24-75mm to Fuji T-10 with 18-55 to shave 1 lb. I tried to rest my camera on some stable spot as possibly can, sometimes on my knees.

Also if the pano frames include a lot of people, you may find some people appear twice on your final copy. So keep in mind if possible , if one frame has some people, the next frame should not have the same group of people or no people.

Hi pithydoug,

What software do you use to stitch your panos together?

Thanks,

It was very nice of you to share the link with us and I do appreciate it very much. Now all i need to do is to go to the Atlantic coast and start clicking away. I wish it were that easy but no matter it's always fun.
