Now when taking the pics, know what you plan on keeping in the picture, and make sure you go quite a bit past it in all directions (an extra picture on the edges can save you big time!). The output you get will need to be heavily cropped and you want to make sure you don't fuck everything up by missing a vital part of the picture. I stitch on average 18 pictures per pano (6x3) However, I have done 50 and 70 picture panoramics in the past, And they work fine aswell. The program can handle it.
What I use and I find works best. I often shoot very wide, like 10, 14 or 15mm (fisheye, all on a 1.5x crop). The wider the angle the more distances are exaggerated (just like the lens normally functions). I use a Sigma 10-20mm most of the time, which has distortion and sharpness issues at the corners. So I simply overlap more and they cease to be a problem. These panoramics usually range from 180-240 degree field of views, and about 70-90 degrees vertically (any more and PTGui has issues because it wants to warp the tops and bottoms into wider areas) However in the past I used to take a lot of pano's at 20-28mm, which don't give such a dramativc sense of depth, but are still good for capturing scenes in the 120-180degree arc range. Any more than 35mm and you are creating a lot of work for yourself (however my best pano is 74 pictures, taken at 36mm)
This is prob my best pano, Handheld, Casio Z-120, 74 pics, taken at 36mm
