How to Shoot a Landscape Panorama That Actually Holds Together: Lessons from the Field
Panoramas have cost me more shots than almost any other technique. Not because the stitching is hard, or because the compositions don’t work, but because of the small, fixable mistakes that only show up later on a monitor back at the hotel. Mismatched exposures. Focus drift between frames. A white balance shift mid-sequence that makes the left side of the image a different color temperature than the right. I’ve been shooting landscapes for twenty years and I still have to remind myself of the fundamentals when conditions are moving fast and the light is doing something worth chasing.
