Day 19, How to take breathtaking Panorama Shots. This is referring to ‘stitching’ them together in Photoshop, but don’t forget the Smart Phone apps that allow you to take great Panoramas as well. Here is a few I did, with at 3 three to four shots in each frame, the snow capped Mirror Lake was about 6 shots from memory.
You can do a photo Merge in Photoshop, as he has done in the link, however I often find I can do a better job when I go manual with layers and masked out the overlapping areas. I usually find I can get a smoother consistency. In saying that my way is more frustrating lol. I often use Photoshop to merge and stack images as well.

Great reflection in Mirror Lake, when I was there recently it was too windy. If you use Lightroom, in the latest version there is an inbuilt Pano mode and its AWESOME – it stitches all the raw images to gether and then you can edit the output as one image in LR and that way all your colours and tones are even.

Yes I have the perpetual version, not CC and it has the Pano capability – they are both LR6 essentially
