As a follow-up to How to Shoot Panoramas, here’s a checklist of things to remember.
- Level your tripod
- Switch to manual exposure
- Switch to manual focus
- Switch to a preset white balance such as Daylight
- Select an f/stop that gives the necessary depth of field
- Select an ISO setting that gives reasonable exposure times
- Don’t use a focal length wider than 50 mm (on a 35 mm camera)
- Remove the lens hood
- Don’t use your polarizer filter and be careful with graduated neutral density filters too
- Start your panorama in the part of the scene that will have the least exposure change if you’re shooting during the twilight.
Have fun out there but also, be careful.
