New (to me) panorama-making technique! (from Moosehead Lake, Maine)

Re: Length of the first panorama, just for your info. . .

Yes, it was shot in manual, honestly.  The values were as "same" as they could be, however it was a 180 degree pano, stretching across the lake, from the side where the sun wasn't shining to the side where it was shining, hence it being brighter on the right side, as it should be.

I normally put panos together in PS CC using the Automate command, as everyone else does.  However, as I mentioned in my piece, I didn't overlap enough, shooting at 85 mm, and therefore, PS refused to put it together the traditional way.  So I resorted to this "when all else fails" kind of technique, which worked quite nicely.

Thanks for the kind words!

Very nice set. Wonderful coors.

I don'T go in all your troubles when doing panos. I just use LR 6, which has a pano made ( you select the pictures, LR does all the rest..).

The only tip I have for the time of shooting is to shoot manual, in order to keep same exposure for all scnes ( you don'T want the camera to re meter while you change its position for next picture ). All focus set to infinity...( manually ).

Good job
