I just thought I would post this image because it is an example of something that can happen anytime, not just during panoramic image capture, and that is losing sight of what you're doing.
I was capturing the images needed to stitch this photograph together when a couple of people walking down the path in this image saw what I was doing and struck up a conversation with me. I was trying to split my time between conversing and photographing during a moment when this cloud layer was rapidly rolling across the horizon. By the time I realized what I had done, it was too late and the cloud had moved far away from where I wanted it.
What did I do incorrectly? I didn't take two more vertical photos to expand the left side of the frame!!! :eek:
It's a balancing act: being a polite, social person and paying attention to making your image. I failed to do that in this instance, when I should have asked that they please excuse me for 45 seconds as I captured all of the images I would need, not just most of them!
