how to...a multirow pano

Hello there,

I guess it is fair to say the best way start shooting a multirow pan is to take the +30...0...-30 in a 0 degree and then move in the same way around the rest of 360 degree. In that case autopano can easier identify them??? Would this be the case if a 10-22mm Canon is on a 50D and a 60mm 2.8, (also Canon) or does this change...depending on the lenses.

Thank you and let the world go round and round

cheers Danny25 and thank you for any help ... I am new here!!!

It changes with every lens & also depends how much overlap you are seeking.
For 10-22mm you will need
6 shots -15 pitch
6 shots +15 pitch
1 zenith
1nadir (I do handheld shot)
14 shots total
This is what I do but you can do it other ways too with less overlap in somecases if the scene allows.

Welcome to the forum.

The order in which you shoot makes no difference to APP AFAIK, whatver is easiest for you and works best for the scene you are shooting.

The number of shots in each row and the number of rows depends on the camera body (sensor crop factor) and the lens you are using and the amount of overlap you want between images - 30% overlap is a good rule of thumb, and of course the total pano FOV (field of view) you desire.

This may help to get a handle on it:

Order doesn't matter to APP, but you should use the same order everytime, just for your own sanity.

I prefer to shoot left to right, because that tightens the head on the tripod.  I started off going right to left, and the head loosened.  And I found that going left to right puts the pictures in order in bridge or whatever browser you use. 

I also shoot top-to-bottom  (so its vertex, one row in a circle, left to right, and so on)  because if I shoot three rows of 8 around, I can line the images up in an image browser by changing the width of the browser (or size of the images).

Its not much of a reason to shoot this way, but since APP has no preference, and I really don't care either, this slight advantage wins.
