On a recent trip to France, I shot this panoramic with the 40D, 24-105mm lens. The lens was set at 28mm, shot vertically,handheld, manual exposure, raw. I was approximately 200 meters away from the castle and the panoramic is stitched with 5 shots.
In CS3, I tried all the different stitching options (automatic, perspective, interactive...) and they all resulted in perspective distortion. The roof line is not straight, the windows are not spaced evenly...
Is 28mm too wide for stitching, resulting in perspective distortion?. Am I too close to the castle, thereby exaggerating the perspective distortion? Is there anything I can do in CS3 to fix it?
thanks.
