PANORAMA PHOTOGRAPHY HOW TO: This article is a panorama photography how to using specific techniques. Panorama photography has become very popular within the last 10-years. When I first started doing panoramas, you needed a tripod and a complicated setup to shoot the images required for a stitching program to work. If the images had nodel errors, the stitching software would either outright fail, or produce weird results. With continual improvements in stitching software, taking the images required to make up a pan, and getting excellent stitching results is now much easier. There are many software stitching programs available, but not many that can yield really excellent results. After much experimenting with other programs, I determined that PtGui is the most versatile, and gives remarkable results. PtGui is easy to setup and use. The program is highly automated and finds image stitching points automatically. The cost of the program has increased over when I first purchased it, but it has so many more nice improvements. Adobe Photoshop CS4 is supposed to do automatic stitching also. I have not tried Photoshop CS4.
Although many digital cameras will yield good results, it is the lens that makes all the difference. Point and shoot digitals sometimes don't have a strong enough wide angle lens, thus cameras with interchangeable lenses are much more versatile for doing panorama photography. It is possible however to get good results with almost any lens by taking more shots and stitching both vertically and horizontally into a high megapixel image.Whether or not to use a tripod, is a good question. A tripod requires you to make adjustments, turn knobs, and is not conducive to creative work, and is usually a hindrance to creativity. I have not found that a tripod is necessary for Landscapes unless you are including close up foregrounds in the scene, in which case you may need to make nodal adjustments for the lens in use.
Panorama Photography Techniques Panorama photography techniques vary depending on the photographer. Techniques I use don't need a Tri-pod. Further more, time consuming exact setups and lens nodal adjustments are not needed to produce great results. First and most important is to locate a scene to photograph. Look left to right and frame the scene in your mind before switching on your camera. For example are there unsightly telephone poles and wires in the scene? Can you change your position and get rid of these? often all it takes is a slight alteration in your position to make a 100% improvement. So you need to analyze and not be in a hurry to snap pictures. I use a 3-inch by 12-inch viewfinder made out of black mat board. Using a viewfinder will really facilitate in composing pictures. Hold your viewfinder up at arms length away from your eyes and look at your scene. This distance will be similar to what a wide angle lens will see. Now that you have your pan scene composed, turn on your camera and set up for "Aperture Priority" Set your aperture to 11. Set your ISO high enough so that when you meter the scene the reported "Shutter Speed" is at least 1/125 second. Most SLR cameras will have these features. For "Point and Shoot" cameras, you may not have these features, in that case you can just use automatic mode and let the camera determine the exposure, however you must have a very firm hand when taking the images with a point & shoot camera.

Canon EOS 40D Press Release
Canon 430EX Speedlite:
This new flash unit is clearly aimed at buyers of the EOS 5D digital SLR which doesn't have a built-in flash unit. Compared to the 420EX which it replaces the 430EX has an increased guide number (range) and is approximately 40% faster at recycling. When attached to a camera with a smaller than full-frame sensor it detects this and adjusts its angle of coverage.
