Tips on taking Panoramic Photo

Panoramic photos, or Photo Stitching is to combine several photos to become a big one...

Many cameras now provide a fuction to let you take such photo, e.g. Canon, this function is always there...

However, without the function provided by the camera, can we take panoramic photos or stich the photos on ourself? Yes... if you know how to do it...

Why we need to do it ourself when the camera has the function, this is because the camera only allows you to stich the photos in one line:

Photo1 Photo2 Photo3 Photo4 --> become a long photo

But not:

Photo1 Photo2

Photo3 Photo4

---> to become a big square or rectangular photo as follows:

So we need to DIY Panoramic Photo..

However there are some tips that you need to pay attention:
1) set your camera to manual setting, so that you can fix the aperture, shuttle speed, if not you get different lighting for different photos, and end up you get something on the left.

2) Control the overlapping portion, not too much overlapping between photos, but also not too little, if not distortion will happen as shown left.

3) Stand as far as possible from the scene.
