Description
Many years ago, a very good friend of mine came to London and showed me how to take a panorama picture. This is the first time I've actually tried it and succeeded. This photo would have been 1 frame longer but I forgot to change the auto focus in the first picture (I was going from right to left). Never mind though, it's a good pic. My friend is brilliant though, he does multi row panoramas - much more experienced at doing it than me
This picture is dedicated to him. I'm sorry I'm so bad at sending Christmas cards!A panorama of Hellesveitvann taken from Kongens Dam in Herre, Norway. Taken from 59° 05' 47.4"N, 9° 31' 43.3"E

This is awesome...I always wondered how to take panorama photos

Thank you. It's simple really, as long as you remember the various rules:
● Always use manual focus, and don't change the focus from frame to frame
● Use the same Aperture and shutter speed all the way through
● Don't use AWB (Auto White Balance) - used a fixed white balance, preferably a metered one
● Take many pictures, but in proper order from left to right or right to left
A good trick my friend taught me is that he shoots his hand before starting the series, and then shoots his hand again at the end - that way you know which ones were intended to be included for the Panorama. If you are taking many pictures which are similar, they can cause confusion you when you come to stitch it together.

Used photoshop CS5 to stitch them together

nice panorama! What did you use to merge them together?

Adobe Photoshop CS5 has a batch tool known as photo merge - can auto detect where to layer then and it does it all for you. It didn't do a perfect job, but I don't think I could have done any better
Thanks for the comment

Nice panorama. It very nice, dark but well lit well, and well composed. Good work.

I think I'll ask my friend to remind me what that light meter is that he uses - especially if I plan to do some more of these

I think that the title should be "Paradise Panorama". This landscape is incredibly amazing!

every beginning is hard
maybe you can try too do some lightroom or camera raw prozessing to make more out of the clouds and the water
