Here is my first pano. It is 6 shots, shot vertically, hand held, rotate whole body, as instructed by Tim. I let the camera meter off the center area, and then set shutter and aperture manually to match. I used the center line of my camera's grid to stay on the horizon. It took less than 4 minutes to take two series of shots. Then, at home used Roxio 9 to create the pano. That took less than 5 minutes, only had to adjust one frame manually, it did the rest. Last week, I didn't even know pano existed!
