I have no idea, making the photo's isn't the problem I think but when I want to 'stitch' them, the program can't find the points so I have to mark them by hand, it takes so much time and when I'm finally finished it won't work So I thought the photo's are wrong and took new ones, then again it didn't work, the third time idem.

hmm, lets see here,

Do any of the photos automatically connect, or is it just a few that are not connected?

are you taking them in a big open area outside (not underneath a tree), or in a tight space inside? the more open and basic your environment is, the easier Hugin and stitch them together

also be sure you take the photos with about a 30% (or more) overlap

None of them automatically connect and I took them in the middle of our garden, which is surrounded by trees (I thought you said that it's better to work in an environment without too many open spaces ) And yep, the overlap is often more

well what i mean by open space is try not right next to an object. the video tutorial shows me in my driveway and i'm at least 20 feet away from trees and cars and all that. if i was say, 8 feet close to a tree and was taking these hand-held, then it might have a hard time stitching them together

are you using a dslr? try using full manual mode with manual focus if it isn't working with automatic settings

sometimes it doesn't work taking them hand-held (i've tried many, and not all of them come out) it also depends on the environment you are in. having a pano head will really help but they are expensive.

you shouldn't have to add points for every single picture, maybe a few, but not all

i would try it one more time, and if it still doesn't work please let me know, you can send me your pics and i'll try to figure out why its not working

Okay, thank you for your help! I don't have a panoramic head but I do own a tripod, is it better to use that instead of just holding my camera? And I'm definitely going to try it again, I love such kind of photographs

btw, i found out something that was troubling a bunch of Hugin users

The very first thing you want to do when you open Hugin is to click File > Preferences> Control Point Detectors and change the default to Autopano-SIFT-C.

It's on another one by default and it's horrible at detecting control points

hope this helps even though its like 6 months later

I really don't know which is better, hand-held vs, normal tripod. BUT there is a way that would be better, and that would be to have your camera lens resting on the tripod handle like this [link] only in vertical orientation, while you spin around and take the pics
