Panorama Hand held

[NatJag]

I took this pano hand held from 12 shot (taken portrait) and combined using the default method in CS3 and some levels adjustments. I'm rather taken how well it worked for a hand held. Shots were very much over lapping which I think was the key to success here. When I've tried in the past I've had a horizon that would arc down at the edges.

It's not the sharpest of shots as the wind was upto 75mph. Tripods were useless. I was only just managing to stand up. At least I know this should work well in the future.

Location is Dover Port. No ferries were entering or leaving the port (far left) due to the windy conditions.

Thanks all for your comments. Shows it can be done. The secret is the numerous overlapping shots taken for the shot
