MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
The three above, and the one I linked to on the previous page, were all taken handheld - some on a Point & Shoot camera, in fact I think maybe all of mine, if not then on a Canon 500D. I then use a free program called Autostitch to turn the pics into a panorama

Thanks for that. I've a normal tripod, I was thinking that, armed with a camera that has a panaramic picture feature. I would just rotate the camera while it was on the tripod.
I use to use a Canon Ixus from around 2003, which came with stitching software. But it was a bit limited.
It just so happens that I noticed the Nikon J1 while I was in a shop the other day and it got me to thinking about getting a new camera.
Solo - Do exactly that. I mount the camera on a 3-way head and just rotate in small increments. For the stuff I do, it seems to work out just fine.

Barcelona pano from Montjuc.
The problem with showing panoramas, is that they really need to be seen wider than your field of view - pretty difficult with a computer monitor and even more so with a narrow column width like STW.

Some great pictures in this thread!
If I'm stitching pictures from my DSLR or stills from the iPad I use Microsoft's Image Composite Editor (free if you have a Windows Live account and gives a few more options than Autostitch) Just make sure that all your pictures have some overlap (better to have too many pictures than too few!)
The 360 app for the iPad does a very good job of making an interactive panorama: you just take a load of pictures, stitch them together and then move the iPad around to see the result, or you can download the result and view it as a normal panorama.

Wow, amazing photos. I've always loved shots of the Scottish mountains, mainly because they seem real and accessible. If you want to go there and climb the hill then you can do it without too much risk of death.
Went out this morning hoping to exactly this up in Teesdale, but fell off into a boggy hole and bust the camera... 🙁
