How to make a panorama photo


Hi, I have a digital camera but it doesn't have a panorama option. I've tried taking many photos while my camera sits on it's tripod and putting the photos together in photoshop, but when it's enlarged to print size I can see the seam and it's not matching exactly. What am I doing wrong? When I take the photos I make sure the scenes overlap just a tiny bit so I can hopefully match them in the photoshop program but it's not working. Also where can I get my panoramas printed?

  Brandy,
Make sure you overlap about 25 to 30 % of each shot. I use photostitch that came with my camera, the one in my photoshop won't work. Also try getting a hot shoe bubble level, I have one and it works great. You can make your camera level both ways. Good luck

Mike.

  Also make sure that you lock the exposure, because if one photo is lighter or darker, that can cause a line.
