Quick noob pano question. What's the best way - image quality wise - to compose one? Currently i just export every single image from LR in jpeg format, then use PTGui to stitch them together. But this may not al all be the way to go.

all manual settings, manual focus too.

take all your photos set at the same focus and settings, shoot with the camera at 90 degrees (portrait).

rotate on a tripod.

Heres one of mine from London.

Sorry, yes also shoot raw ( i should of) then you can fiddle with it. Save as a jpeg for the net. I suppose Tiff or png for printing.

Not OP, but i guess it'd be better to shoot on a non cloudy day, as the clouds fuck up the picture due to the movement.

OP here, thanks for the info (goes for all). Not that I've tried it, but will PTGui pro take RAW (in my case .CR2) files?

When focussing manually, do I need to constantly focus on objects that are the same distance away? (eg finding different objects that are all - for example - 100 feet away as the landscape progresses)

no, only set the focus once, this gives a good natural panorama. If you refocus half way through it wont blend right and it will look blurry then sharp. Just focus reasonably far out.
