The Lake at Union Rd and Route 49

On our way to Ocean City Saturday night, we stopped at the lake on the corner of Union Road and Route 49. This photo is the stitching together of three or four photos. In the top, right you can see where the software had some trouble getting everything to match up cleanly.

In doing these types of shots, I’m learning some lessons.

1) I should use either a tripod or, my case, my monopod. I need something to help me keep the camera straight and level.

2) I need to “freeze” the exposure for all the photos in my panorama. Since the camera will automatically adjust the expose for different lighting situations for each shot, it makes it very difficult for the software to smoothly transition from one photo to another.
