Daym, that's awesome, did you use some special tripod ?

[QUOTE=chamon;23804952]Daym, that's awesome, did you use some special tripod ?[/QUOTE] Thank you. I used a regular tripod, but with a panoramic head. This makes sure the camera lens is rotated around the nodal point, which eliminates all parallax shift. All this and more is further explained at [URL="http://www.panoguide.com/"]PanoGuide.[/URL]

[QUOTE=evilking1;23806920]better yet don't use hdr [editline]07:49PM[/editline] hdr is for people who lack dynamic range in their camera[/QUOTE] HDR is for people who actually understands the dynamic range of the nature. But it has been severely abused by those who think it's magic, I'll give you that.
