Thanks for the comments! In order to maintain consistency in exposure, I meter for the brightest part of the scene, then use those settings in manual mode. Once in manual, you will not have a change in exposure as you move through the scene for the individual shots. I like to meter for the brightest area in order to prevent blown highlights. It is much better to extract detail from shadow areas during post-processing than to try to get detail in a blown highlight. Give it a try and see what you can come up with! JD Anderson

I love these panoramic images, and you've certainly created a first-rate composition, here! Question, though. How do you maintain consistency of exposure across all 21 individual images, so you don't see "blocks" in the final panorama??

Well James, I bet you are pleased with this, I would be. Well done. CB
