Before I start experimenting, I would like to ask panorama specialists:
There are situations where a 28mm wide equivalent lens is not wide enough, or is apt to distort persective too much. I have seen good hand held panoramas and I wonder if the following would be feasible.
You are shooting a cathedral in landscape mode and are forced to tilt your camera upward with your 28mm equivalent, resulting in a typical perspective.
I would like to merge 3 shots taken in portrait mode with the camera kept horizontally to avoid this perspective.
- would you use a focal with less distortion, like 35mm ?
- or would you correct distortion before merging?
- would it be good enough without a tripod?
Even if I crop the lower part of the resulting image, I should have more detail ?
