I have created stitched panoramas, cropped panoramas, and single-shot panoramas. All worked well.

Tilt/shift lenses are the best landscape lenses. Shots fits perfectly together, you can correct perspective and no need to turn your camera with tripod etc.

Great tips Tom! I just LOVE your sample shots too. Thanks for inspiring me to get out there and try this!

Thanks a lot for watching and taking the time to comment

The most important tip is the one that you did not mention: Rotate about the nodal point of the lens to avoid parallax errors. This point is the entry pupil of the lens and is best determine experimentally. A nodal mount is required. This is a simple extension that moves the camera back so that the nodal point is over the tripod's rotation point.

If you go above 35mm or 50mm the nodal point is not that important anymore. That is why I didn't mention it. I said go above 35mm. To rotate around the nodal point you need a panoramic head. It's a very important concept but for many it creates problems of understanding and sometimes it gets in the way of the crrative process. Thanks for point it out though. It ads a lot to the information

Thank you Toma, for your tips. I have done a few panoramas and enjoy doing them and the final result. Your tips help to remind me of what I need to look out for.

Thank you for the comment

What happens to resolution when panoramas are done by the camera?

Great tips. Thanks

Toma, we both enjoy photographing trails in the forest. There are a lot of panoramas of grand views outside of the forest. I like the idea of doing a panorama inside the forest and including a trail. I hope you will discuss this in more detail in the future. I'm curious how you handle getting everything in focus when you have plants and trees that are very close and will be included in the panorama. Can you also do a panorama with your camera close to the ground? Also, what do you think are the best sizes for panoramas?

I like to do panoramas of 5 shots, although 6 would make a wider view that is a classic panorama. I tried to do a panorama close to the ground but I didn't stiched it yet to see how it looks. Because the focal length is higher than 35mm (often above 50mm) the planta cloae to me are not in the frame

what was that tripod head you showed?

It's from Fotopro, the TH-1M. It came with the tripod T1 Plus

Do you use Adobe products to do your stitching or another program not Adobe based?

I use Lightroom Classic

Νιce! I use the same 3 fingers beforevand after a panorama sequence (and some other finger signs if its a focus stack or exposure bracket sequence).
