    pano help please

    I took three shots, hand held out the window. What's causing the triangular shading? Any other directions to help will be appreciated.

    I use microsoft ICE (free!!) and does quite a good job , I do leave about 20% to 50% overlap between the photos

    Re: pano help please

    It almost looks like vignetting + insufficient overlap are issues here - your pano software or its settings might be off too. Also, some "pieces" look like they were exposed differently. Were you exposing manually or using a priority mode?

    I don't do panoramic shots too much but to get seamless blending, I found it is really important to sufficiently overlap the images and expose manually and consistently. I think armando's estimate of is about right but I personally lean towards a 50% overlap to be safe.

    Quick service thanks to all.

    I was not using manual exposure, will next time.

    Went back and tried again found noticed "advance blending".
    Take a look at the results. Thanks LeeIs.
