Be Gentle my first stab at this. I took these from our deck over looking Trail, BC. I didnt do any post processing with any of these, this is what came off the camera and Serif. The first one is hand held and the second I spent close to an hour (and a six pack) trying to level off an old surveyors tripod that my old view camera sits on. I got the tripod close to as level as I had the patience to do, after all this was an experiment.
I just need some input as to what I did wrong and right. I used my D2x and 28-70, 2.8 at about 60mm manual everything, I know it is over exposed. I just wanted to see if I could get the gist on how to stitch. Any comments are greatly appreciated.

To do horizontal panoramas shoot with the camera in the vertical orientation- it gets you more covrage. Set exposure & focus to manual, so they don't change while you're sooting. Why 60mm? I would shoot wider than that. What post processing program do you have? Photoshop CS5 stitches automatically. I think Elements does it as well. Use a level if you have problems.
A shot like this you could probably do w/o a tripod if you're careful.

As i said this was an experiment, 60mm seemed as good of spot to start that anywhere else. post processing is Nikon Capture Nx2, everything was set at manual.
Are you from the Granite Planet, I worked in Alberta a couple years and thats what we called Newfoundland.
Thanks

Elements does stitch, and starting with 9, will clone in those staggered areas. So the resulting image is larger than cropping, as is usually done to remove the staggered areas.

Cool, I'd like to see the place also, I heard the lobsters pretty good.
Another joke in Alberta is- What's the capitol of Newfounland?- Fort McMurray (huge oil sand project up there along with alot of Newfies).

I figured if I had the tripod perfectly level there would be no as you say staggered areas. The one I did do on the tripod worked alot better than hand held, I should of spent more time to level tripod. i used a small bubble level
Thanks

I never use a tripod for panos. I just allow about 25% overlap. If you can get a copy of Canon PhotoStitch (free with Canon cameras) it does a good job.

We are in Southern Oregon and it looks like we are about to experience the same weather system you are in.
