Tips for shooting panoramas

Technique

  • Tripod
  • Shoot vertically - less lens distortion.
  • No auto white balance (might change)
  • No auto exposure (lock settings from first shot)
  • Focus the first shot and turn off auto focus on the lens.
  • First shot with your finger to know where the series starts afterwards.
  • Shoot quickly.
  • Use self timer to avoid blurred photos in the sequence.

Post processing

  • Open all in Photoshop.
  • File->Automate->Photomerge
