All panoramas were generated with a standard tripod mounted camera in portrait mode orientation. There are one, two and three horizontal row panoramas. One of my main goals in these trails is to make wide enough panoramas so very large, very high quality prints can be made from them. I'm more interested in making undistorted prints than 360 degree panoramas.
Have experimented with a number of pano software products: Photomerge (CS2), Hugin, Autopano Pro, Autostitch, PTGui, Panorama Factory.
