Indeed it does! And the FA* 400 must be a very fine lens if it is anything like the FA* 200 that I own.

Beautiful, and well worth the second thought.

Photoshop doesn’t offer any sophisticated stitching controls, as much as I like it otherwise.

I don’t think so. I never tried LR stitching but I assume it does not give you a lot of control. A dedicated stitching software such as Hugin would handle things better I suppose.

Lovely colours, and the hard-working kind of panorama! :)

Thank you! With a little routine it is actually quite simple.

This is a funny result but it might not be exactly what you were looking for. I think in this case Photoshop is not quite up to the job. Dedicated pano software (such as the free Hugin) gives you a lot more control of just about any aspect of the stitching process. Did you try it? It has a bit of a learning curve but IMO it's absolutely worth the extra effort.

Thank you, much appreciated! I see what you mean but I tried to keep the late dusk feeling in the image. Might be interesting to try a second interpretation.

A hand-held pano from the Italian Dolomites near Cortina d’Ampezzo. K-5 II with Samyang 16mm F2.0 ED AS UMC CS, 19 portrait orientation frames stitched in Hugin (cylindrical projection). I shot this with a lot of overlap between frames to minimize alignment problems as I had no time to set up the pano head.

Something different: some old school analog panoramas from the Z-1p (a/k/a PZ-1p) film camera in pano mode, taken in 1995 in the central High Atlas, Morocco.
When Pentax updated the Z-1 in 1994 they included a "pano mode" restricting the film window to something like 13x36mm. While the Pentax Z-1p served as my main camera from 1995 to 2007, I only ever took one roll of film in pano mode. This was over several days in late autumn of 1995 while I was living in a small Berber/Imazighen village in the Assif Melloul region (also referred to as plateau des lacs in French) in the Moroccan central High Atlas to do ethnographic fieldwork. When my co-researcher (also a Pentax shooter) had to go back to Austria for several weeks due to health problems, I was left with a spare Z-1p body in addition to the Z-1p and LX bodies I was using. So I decided to do a roll of Fuji Reala in pano mode. I took most of the images in the early morning before starting working, many of them with the FA* 200mm. For more images see the flickr album here.

Thanks! You might be aware of that--but a nice trick to manually blend overlapping frames in PS is to set the layer mode to difference and then cut using the lasso tool where the resulting image is black, or almost. I tend to use a feather of 1 pixel only and in most cases this works pretty well.

The Flickr page is private, so I can't look at the details. Generally speaking, however, the free Hugin software does a much better job at pano stitching than Photoshop, even if it needs a little attention to do its magic.
