From popular request I have put together a tutorial on MY method of splicing panoramas together. I have chosen a quick easy way tho it can be time consuming depending on the subjects or amount of frames you are stitching together. Click on the first picture to enlarge and then click on 'next picture' icon to continue.
Method of Exposure:
I shot these handheld, and used the grid in the D70 viewfinder as a leveling and composing aid. Sometimes a tripod is handy but I havent got into any elaborate equipment yet.
SHOOT MANUAL everything. dont use Auto anything including Auto WB or Auto ISO. I metered on the brightest section of the panorama in this case and took a test shot. After adjusting to my taste I shot all the frames at the same setting.
