Have fun with it! The shot above was in late fall, I also did the same pano in a winter snowstorm with the river mostly frozen. I'll collect another this summer then do a horizontal blend across the seasons.

You can blow up to print real big...... I have an 80 foot long image running around the top 2 feet of the walls of a room....you need lots of pixels for that....Rocky said:
Besides, you get less distortion and a much sharper image at 200mm than at 21.
Sometimes your panorama exceeds the width of your widest lens.

Also with the wide lens, the whole mountain range will be a line in the middle of the photo, you will not get the details that makes it interesting

You have over exaggerated the situation. The height of the mountain range is 1/5.6 of the picture width. how can it be a line. also if you look at the picture from the screen, you have more than enough detail with a good lens. I do agree with Don Haines. If we need super large enlargement. Pano is the way to go.meywd said:

I don't look at the pixel level because usually the pano is too big to care about that, but if i find an issue, I either fix it with a healing brush, or delete the pano
that is of course if its not caused by the stitching software.

you are right in that I exaggerated, because the case I have in mind is the difference between a 14mm and a pano with 70mm, but in his case its near that 21mm vs 200mm, thats a big difference, its 1/5.6 of the picture at 200mm, but at 20mm, there will be lots of sky and land in the picture as well.
edit: check the attached image for example.

If you use a wide angle lens, minimum distortion is when the camera is level. Tilt it up or down and you see keys toning (vertical elements leaning in or out). Shooting a panorama with multiple shots at a longer focal length will yield less distortion. Yes, you can correct in Photoshop, but the less correction an image needs, the better.Rocky said:

I find that's ususlly the case for me. I generally shoot panos in portrait orientation, with a focal length that captures the vertical height I need. The Boston panos above were at 70mm, with 11 shots stitched.

Prey, is there any guideline on how large the frame overlap should be for this portrait-type stitching?
Ttoo much overlap tends to confuse the pano software unless you manually de-ghost, but too little overlap can result in the software failing to merge the pano at all. I'm usually using 1/3rd overlap in portrait mode, even more when movement is involved (i.e. more potential de-ghosting data).
But that's just me randomly trying and I'd like to get some expert input/article outside picking random google search results. My guess is that it should depend on the focal length/distortion of the lens, too.
