By using a combination of the two methods
outlined above, you should achieve excellent
results on your first try. Since the “film” in
your digital camera is essentially free, you
should take a lot of pictures. That’s the best
way to get the perfect shot. A tripod, while
not required, certainly helps. Otherwise, you’ll
also have to make sure the horizon is lined up
correctly in each picture.
The most important thing to remember when
taking panoramas is that you must overlap
adjacent images. COOL 360 needs some
overlap between adjoining images, so be as
generous as you can. An overlap of at least
15% of the right and left sides is a good
minimum. Use landmarks to remember
where you need to take your next shot. When
you take a picture, note a landmark on the
right side of the image frame. Then move
clockwise until this landmark is in the left
side of the frame.
A tripod, even a small one, can
help you steady your shots.
Overlap adjacent images by a minimum of 15% on
each side. Use prominent landmarks to line up the
shot.
