, so I thought I'd seek some basic guidance from those in the know...
Apart from the obvious like using a tripod & leveling the camera
a. do you prefer using portrait or landscape for your individual photos?
b. roughly what amount of overlap do you allow in %?
c. how do you cope with moving objects (e.g. boats on the harbour)?
d. obviously it's preferable if not essential to keep focal length the same, but what else do you need to keep control of to get an even exposure across the panorama?
e. what software do you prefer/recommend for assembling panoramas?
f. what total angle of view makes a good pano? too small and you may as well not have bothered - too wide and it looks artificial???
g. What is the advantage of using an advanced ball-head (terminology?)for the tripod rather than a normal head?
h. Anything else I haven't mentioned??? Probably...
The aim of this thread is to gather advice and promote discussion...
Let's collect all of your advice in one place for beginners...
If it gets a good response, I'll assemble all the best advice into a Tutorial for the tutorials section...
