Photo Shooting Checklist Print this checklist and take it with you when you go out to shoot panorama photos. Turn Auto-exposure OFF Turn Auto White Balance OFF Turn the Flash OFF Use the same exposure setting (slight variations if necessary). Use one Focal Length for all shots in the sequence One Size/Quality for all shots in the sequence Use a TRIPOD whenever possible - especially when objects are near to the camera If a tripod is not available, lock elbows and pivot on one spot - keep camera level. Use at least 25% overlap for each shot Use 50% overlap when using a wide angle lens Go beyond 360 degrees when shooting for 360 degrees panoramas - mark your tripod with a piece of tape Create time-based groups - wait no more than 40 seconds between shots Insert visual dividers (black shots) between sequences - use a lens cap or piece of cardboard Be aware that an object in motion may cause problems when stitching Be aware that scenes without much detail (cloudless sky over flat sea) are more difficult to stitch |
