Bestselling author Lee Frost presents an all-encompassing, completely practical guide to creating great images in the increasingly popular panoramic format.
Panoramic photography is more accessible and more popular now than ever before. The launch of affordable cameras has been partly responsible for this, putting a panoramic system within the reach of most enthusiast photographers. Digital technology has helped too--it is now relatively straightforward to shoot a sequence of images and stitch them together using computer software.
Here Lee Frost leads readers through all the information they will need to create successful panoramic images--from choosing equipment and looking at different ways to produce panoramics, to applying filters, printing and displaying pictures, and much more.
Particular attention is paid to approaching the composition of panoramics, and overcoming compositional difficulties. Frost also offers readers inspiration for more creative uses of panoramic photography, showing how it can be used not only for landscapes and architecture, but also action, portraits, reportage, and other subjects.

Title is misleading to us who want to learn how to take pano images with DSLR and pano heads.

It briefly goes over... more info
Outstanding book on Panorama techniques:
This is an excellent book for those interested in making photographic panoramas. It is a little outdated, but still covers the basics of making panoramas with a digital camera. The author is british, so a little of the terminology seems a bit strange to Americans (in a delightful sort of way). It is chock full of beautiful panoramas and the author's explanations of how he made them are very valuable. Good technique is timeless and this book is crammed with useful techniques as well as a very good... more info
Excellent starting point on all that is panoramic:
When I first began to browse this book I thought that there was nothing new here, especially for a photographer with some experience. It was almost a retelling of other "how to" photographic books, covering basics such as filling the frame, foreground interest and the rule of thirds. However, on reading through it in more detail, it did cover issues specifically related to panoramic images, such as exposure, filters (especially polarisers), and metering. There were a number of helpful tips, such as... more info
