In fact, I think you can do a panorama sans special software--just use any
photo editing utility, copy and past using a grid, and then airbrush
slightly if there's a definitive edge visible. Or, just shoot a normal
single frame but compose so that once you chop off the top portion, it
looks a really wanne-be pano (umm, like
http://student.ucr.edu/~siddim01/lad.jpg which I didn't intend to be this
way--the scanner software at the school lab automagically cut out the sky
on top, and no matter what I did, I couldn't figure out how to get it
back. It would scan the whole photo, but leave out the white area when
sending to Paint Shop. When I scanned the light tower at the airport, it
did the same thing. When I scanned the 'medusa's head' it did the same,
but I scanned the photo sideways to fool it and get the whole, which
didn't work for lad.jpg or cyclops.jpg).
Of course, I have no experience yet in panos, so disregard it if it's
nonsense. I'm waiting for my own compy/scanner before playing with
creative techniques (pre-exposure, not post).
