Thanks Greg! I appreciate the comment, all credit goes to all the feedback and tips from yourself and others in IIS. Now it's a matter of refining the processing steps and framing the subject matter well.

cheers

Hi Danny, this is only my 5th or 6th panorama but what got me started was this link by 'Iceman' Mike - I followed these steps one by one. All but one, I've used Photoshop CS6 (tools - photomerge - auto) to do the stitching, I leave that bit to the computer. Often the image comes out warped/bent but using the warp tools (described by Mike) in photoshop I shape the photograph and level the ground. Afterwards I crop the edges and adjust levels/colours to my liking and there you have it. Try following Mike's tutorial its very good!

I think the key to avoiding too much rotation is to be very quick between taking frames?

Hope this helps
