This is my first attempt at shooting a panorama. It's a boring picture that is missing any near or middle reference points, but it did teach me some good lessons about this type of shooting.
It's 8 pictures stitched together using PTGui. ( http://www.ptgui.com/ Free demo available )
I shot them at ISO100, 18mm, 25 seconds at F16 using a Nikon 18-200 VR lens. I was on a bridge that shakes badly when cars drive over it, so even with the VR set to it's maximum (Active mode) the images are a bit soft.
I used a RRS ball head with an RRS Nodal slide and RRS Pano clamp to do the panorama sections.
Once you figure out the nodal point for your lenses the RRS Pano setup works really great.
Now I have to find some more interesting subject matter, and keep practicing. ;)
