Composite Photos

One of our Community members, stratski, shares a step-by-step guide in this tipster. "This is not about getting a perfect representation. Every picture is taken at a subtly different angle. For some you have to tilt your camera up, for others you shoot straight ahead, or turn left or right. The perspective in every picture will differ."

Instant Panographs
