I've never taken a panorama picture before, so of course this week's competition theme is...panoramas! To compound things, while researching "How To Do Panoramas For Dummies" I discovered that my camera (D5500) does not have a panorama setting. Of course.
So...
Anyone have any general tips when it comes to taking a panorama shot (tripod? hand held? VR on or off? DoF setting? Wide angle lens vs telephoto? other?)?
And...
How do you stitch together photos in Lightroom so they meld into one? I did create a diptych previously, but that places a border between pictures. I want to try an actual panorama, like I see a lot of the members here create so artfully.
If you don't care to type out your advice but know of a vid or online tutorial that you think might be helpful, I'd be just as grateful to see that. The places I've checked out have been all over the map, advice-wise. My head is starting to spin from the sometimes seemingly contradictory instructions.
Thanks very much!
