Digital-Image-Stitching.

Problem: I don't own an expensive panoramic camera :[

Solution: Take multiple photos which can be stitched together later on a computer :]

How: With a decent digital camera, suitable lens, sturdy tripod - with panoramic head attached and an amount of fore-sight and creativity.. you can create a panoramic photograph by combining/segmenting a number of photographs together.

The 'typical' horizontal panorama is no longer the only way to stitch images together by the way... these days software is capable of producing horizontal, vertical and spherical (360ยบ) images. Please click on the following links to see some amazing examples of this.

A number of more recent cameras now have the inbuilt ability to create their own 'motion panorama' image with a single press of a button, which, if done correctly, actually produces remarkably good results! The only downside is that these cameras normally cannot do this as a high-resolution RAW file, producing instead, a large sized JPEG.
