Learning how to make panarama's at a very low cost.

Step 2 My first two panoramas.

The first couple panoramas I just did the hand held version. I didn't have the compass that I needed to find the direction for me to point the camera. I tried to draw lines in the dirt to show me what direction to point the camera for each picture. It didn't come out all that good. My next try at this was to make a paper template under where I was standing. This worked a little better but not good. But its like I said earlier, its a start. But I could see that I needed something better to take the 12 pictures to make the panoramas. (If you would like to try this, print off the 12 point tem.bmp and use it to move around to take the 12 pictures you need. Get the free or trial version of some panorama software. They have instructions to help you get started. If you have problems, leave a comment and I will see if I can answer your questions. Another thing that helps is to hold the camera level when taking the pictures). Chuck
