Hi Marc,
That is a well explained primer on gear set-up and shooting panos, thanks.
Two things occurred to me if I may, it may be advisable to use a remote trigger or the timer rather than pressing the shutter button depending on exposure times etc. Also a way to calculate the overlap for different focal lengths in either orientation, especially if using a zoom. I shoot primes and have written these figures down for my lenses and keep it in my bag.
Cheers,
Dave
