How to Shoot a Stitched Panorama
![]()
Back in the day, it used to be that only professionals or people with wads of cash could afford a Panoramic camera to capture Panoramic images; the time and skill required to stitch images together was beyond the scope of your average digital photographer and the tools to do so were even more primitive or non-existent. Not so today; in present times there’s an abundance of photo stitching software and even adverts on TV with little kids taking and stitching photos together, so while the process may look like child’s play, there are still a few things that need to be considered when taking the pictures for a stitched panorama.
Start by getting your tripod level; easily done with a levelling base, but if you don’t have one, not to worry. If you’ve got a level on your tripod, adjust your leg heights until the bubble is right in the middle, then rotate the base around 360 degrees, checking the base stays level all the way round. If your tripod doesn’t have a level then sit your hotshoe level on it and adjust the legs as necessary like above.
