Because you asked so nicely, here is the how-to for stitching panos, but it also includes shooting tips for panorama portraits, stitching panoramas in Photoshop, my own preferences for processing options, methods and clean up, along with a bit of preview of the photograph used in the tutorial here too.
Using a pano set up of my very own FinnFinn from back in November when we went on our holidays, I hope that this video walks through the must-have elements for photographing panos, along with the method I use for merging panorama frames together in both Lightroom and Photoshop.
Another tip that I totally forgot to mention is that you must not refocus as you are taking your wider shots - turn your lens to manual mode or use back-button focus and do not touch the focus as you are shooting your panorama.
