I suppose the first thing I should do is get a pano head so I have less work to do in the first place. But I tend to mostly do handheld. Because most of my images have been only partial panoramas in the past, this wasn't such a concern for me until recently. Anyway, as I was saying, I'm most curious about how people are approaching the setup for making their adjustments (probably an overly basic question for most folks.) PS At 6-3 I barely make the standard for TCI. Living in Taiwan for 2 years back in the 1980's, I really felt like a giant!
