Thanks for dropping by and commentin...Hi Udaiveer,<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by and commenting.<br /><br />Believe it or not, I actually take 39 images: 12 x +30˚, 12 x 30˚, 12 x -30˚, a zenith and a nadir on the tripod and finally a hand-held nadir. I use the last two to make an in-register nadir with the tripod and pan-head removed. The process these 38 images in Hugin. <br /><br />My reasons are fourfold: <br /><br />1] The red marks on the Panosaurus head are easy to read - I know I could do it in fewer but there are no click stops and I find it easy to remember the red marks, which happen to be 30˚ apart.<br /><br />2] 10mm is not really 10mm on small format sensors. It is more like 15mm equivalent.<br /><br />3] I could probably get away with +30 and -30 without the horizontal, but taking the horizontal gives me the flexibility to use the resultant jpeg as a cylindrical pan rather than a spherical - some scenes work better like that.<br /><br />4] It works for me.<br /><br />I know, I really <i><b>should</b></i>find a lower minimum as it would save a little time in processing but when I have tried sixes, objects such as railings and posts very close to the lens can become fractured in the final stitch. For the sake of an extra few seconds I'd generally rather be safe than sorry. Most of my panoramas are somewhat off the beaten track, or at least away from a road (that's what StreetView's for, right?) so the extra time/inconvenience in taking extra stills is negligible compared to the effort in getting to the destination on the right day with the right light and lugging a tripod etc.<br /><br />Be sure to post back with a link to a couple of your VTs.Rob Bowkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065940710708289511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778290901494481639.post-76454112789731155652014-02-08T15:20:34.999+00:002014-02-08T15:20:34.999+00:00Oops sorrrrrryyyyy Sir,

How many at pitch 30 pitch 0 n pitch -30 ?<br />I too got the same Tamaron 10-24(Canon APS-C)<br />N apologise for first comment, I can't delete it right now (on iPad safari) I will soonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14995672099909464641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778290901494481639.post-66832693822953218332014-02-08T15:14:30.422+00:002014-02-08T15:14:30.422+00:00Mate u take 36 pix with a 10mm lens!

U can do the same with even the 18mm kit lens, also with the 18mm u will get a higher resolution Pano !<br />I think the optimum min is 12(+1) photos.<br />Thanks for the Panosorus advice, just the idea that all the "extra money" goes to the person who "made it" feels much better than Noodle Ninja!!!;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14995672099909464641noreply@blogger.com
