Tutorial on how to shoot Panoramic photographs, by WDC

Thanks, great advice!

Whoops. It was at the very end.

Very important step!

I wish you would talk more about the correct mm to have to avoid barrel distortion when stitching the images.

nice im going to do that. can i do that in photoshop

Stop the presses! Outside-the-box thought (actually inside-the-box). Have a locking turntable - build a 90 degree mirror (or prism) "light box". Place camera lens through hole (pointed downward at mirror). Rotate turntable through 25 degree increments. Can insert grad filter np. Try convex wide-view mirror (perhaps) . Place two cameras on turntable for stereo-scopic panorama. Trust this as not completely outrageous and reprehensible beyond measure : )

See my video of how to set up and use a panorama head to correctly shoot images for indoor environments...

Hi Nigel, Surely using a pano head rather than a simple 3-way pan and tilt would be the recommended technique? You might just get away without stitching errors shooting a panorama with most of the detail in the far distance (as your example), but for those unable to access the top of a tall building who might for instance shoot a series of shots at ground level with nearby trees and lamp posts etc. the stitching will reveal errors?

The Tripod is a Pan-tilt head

in fact, I could cap the Unilever Building and the blackfriars as well...I wish I've had a tripod. check on my blog! : I did my best

Just what I needed :)
