About.com have just published an interesting 5-page guide to creating panoramic images with a digital camera, including techniques for taking the photos and joining them together.

“Film has a lot to offer the panoramist, but with the increasing adoption of digital cameras, these potentially offer a much cheaper route to making digital pictures. Many digital cameras have a special ‘panorama’ mode to encourage this, and software for stitching several shots into a panorama is often provided with the camera.

Recently, I’ve been trying this out, both with a consumer camera, a small Canon Digital Ixus 400, and also with a Nikon D100 DSLR. The results are encouraging, although nothing commercially available can yet match the true panoramic camera loaded with film for ease of picture taking.”
