Five tips for panorama photography

"Panoramas, images that combine a series of photos into a sweeping vista larger or wider than what you could capture in a single photograph--are among the most exciting and unexpected benefits of digital photography. Photographers used to need special film cameras to take super-wide panoramas, or they simulated the effect by taping together a set of prints, exposing lots of ugly seams in the process."
"When you take a few photos and later combine them into a panorama, you tend to lose the tops and bottoms of the scene due to the way your photo editing program stitches the images together. The wider your panorama, the more you tend to lose from the tops and bottoms. One easy way to mitigate that loss is to shoot your panorama with the camera held vertically, in portrait mode, rather than the usual landscape orientation. "
