The "stuff" i'll need..

To be able to create a panoramic photograph to the best of my ability, first ill need to get hold of a camera and a tripod.

Luckily I have access to a digital SLR camera, as well as a sturdy tripod. The limitations of using just a camera, tripod set up is that i have to do it all by hand, and take many photos. If I where to do this professionally, I would most likely use a rig, with many cameras on it. This would be to ensure that all the photos are perfectly lined up, but it also captures one specific moment in time, rather than a few second in between, and a few seconds is just enough time for someone to move, or for the light to fade.
