I've just got my RedSnapper tripod - very impressed! - I went for the TB-12 ballhead in the end
I tried to do a panorama at the weekend; turned out OK once I'd cropped it a bit; but I'm not sure technically how to do it.
Heres what I did.
Attached the ballhead to the Legs
Attached the camera; then dropped it so that the pics were taken portrait
Took numerous pics; twisting the shaft of the ball-head as I went.
.... When I came to create the pano in CS2; the pics werent perfectly aligned; so I had to crop a bit off the top and bottom - not sure if that is a generic problem!?
However it was manipulating the ball-head/camera that I had most problem with - there didnt/doesnt seem to be a sure-fire way of panning round with the ballhead.....
unless I am missing something!?
.... So, am I doing something wrong? - is there a better way to do this? :shrug:
