When shooting, try to include a distinctive item (landmark) in the overlapping portions.
● Shooting ● • Do not try to stitch images that include both distant and close items. Objects may appear warped or doubled up. • Make the brightness in each image consistent. The final image will appear unnatural if the difference in brightness is too great. • Pan (swivel) the camera to take successive shots. • To shoot close-ups, slide the camera over the subject, keeping it parallel as you move.
