• Compose each frame so that it overlaps 30 to 50% of the adjoining image. Try to
keep the vertical misalignment to within 10% of the image height.
• Do not include moving items in the overlap.
• Do not try to stitch images that include both distant and close subjects. Objects
may appear warped or doubled up.
• Make the brightness in each image consistent. The final image will appear
unnatural if the difference in brightness is too great.
• For good results, pan (swivel) the camera to take successive shots.
• To shoot close-ups, slide the camera over the subject, keeping it parallel as you
move.
