Bernard,
Please use one of the 4x4 Temple panoramas and gives us a brief run down on how you made them. I am still struggling tryig to get something acceptable doing a 2 row pano. Love the shots from your trip but especially the panos

Tom,
Sure, the basic workflow is:
- find an interesting subject
- imagine how it would look as a panorama
- position tripod accordingly
- assemble really right stuff spherical pano head
- mount the camera in vertical orientation while positioning the lens on top of its nodal point at the chosen focal lenght
- identify brightest part of the scene and adjust the exposure so as to avoid having too many blown highlights, set the camera to M mode at those exposure parameters,
- start shooting row by row with enough overlap
- launch PTgui
- open the images
- align them
- optimize the panorama so as to get rid of points with too big an error
- add some vertical points if the panorama need to have vertical verticals
- compute the panorama as a .psd file (these files were 2.7 GB with only the resulting layer) - see tutotial linked to from PTgui site if you don't know how to proceed,
- open in PS CS3
- crop
- do more PS CS modifications if needed.
Hope that it helps,
Cheers,
Bernard
