Create perfect panoramas
Once you've found yourself the perfect location for shooting a panorama be sure to spend some time setting it up
Naturally, a good panorama shot will depend largely on location, but there are several ways you can improve the end result. By carefully selecting your filters, shooting in manual and using the vertical format, you will end up with far superior final images that you can stitch together for that perfect panorama.

1. Straighten up

Shooting in the vertical (portrait) format will improve the overall quality of your panorama. You'll be able to produce a larger and more detailed image and it'll reduce the effects of converging verticals.
2. Get your filters out

We used an ND grad (neutral density graduated filter) to darken the sky and balance it with the foreground. Take care to look at the effect of the filter in all of the shots and ensure that youí're not making foreground objects too dark. We had to be careful not to make the trees on the left and right too dark, so we used a gentle Lee 0.3 ND grad.
Thanks for the steps. I will try Panorama in my next week travelling trip.
