Raj, not bad first attempt.

You might want to have a look in the Software section, as there is a recent thread about FREE (Microsoft ICE) software for stitching. It handles it better than the supplied software with your camera, and blends the joins better as well! I've been quite impressed!

All the best, Mike.

Re: Panoramic Whitby

Thanks Mike, All the photo were handheld and manual exposure.

I have seen your post with regard to Microsoft ICE, very easy to use. This one is done using the standard Photoshop only because i use Mac and i already have the Ps on Mac. I will have to try the ICE on the same shot and compare it to see what difference it make.

If there is someone who has already done this can feedback.

Re: Panoramic Whitby

Try also the Canon Stitch software - works fine for me

Realistically pans should be done on a tripod

Re: Panoramic Whitby

Thanks Brian,

I agree, i find it so difficult to carry my tripod along with two kids and a pram. Hence thought i will give it a try without and see.

Re: Panoramic Whitby

Fasten the tripod to the pram along with the camera bag - and then get the biggest kid to push the pram

Re: Panoramic Whitby

Brian - you don't say what model of pram is the preferred one for attaching a Tripod and Camera Bag - having had a Silver Cross when I was born, I assume a Silver Cross Balmoral Pram will do the job?

Nice first pano by the way.

Re: Panoramic Whitby

I am trying to convince my wife, photos are always to be taken with Tripod while learning so that she can carry it.

I was thinking more of the fold ups - the tripod would velcro nicely down the handle.

I can't remember what pram I had as a child but it certainly would not have been a Silver Cross in the days after the war with poor parents - my father was an NCO in the army and mothers didn't work on overseas postings

Re: Panoramic Whitby

A tripod is important but the main thing you need to do is ensure the exposure is the same for each shot otherwise as has happened here you get different tones appearing across the sky
Set the camera to Av mode and choose your aperture, then take a reading of the shutter speed. Switch to manual mode and transfer the shutter speed and aperture then take your shots
