Tiling is usually a very primitive technique used for panoramic pictures - you can improve this by swivelling the tripod about the lens axis, and Manfrotto make kit for this. As it is considered an very amateur technique, you get the software to do it in Photoshop Elements, but not in the full version. I have read that Panavue is good.
The usual problem is that, when you pan the lens, you get a different perspective, and you cannot seamlessly join pictures or get straight roof lines. With LF shift-tiling, you leave the lens unmoved, and move the digiback over the static image created by the lens. This is my own theory, and I have not tried it, but, I think, in principle the only complication is unwanted movement between frames. A good, heavy tripod is needed, and a fully geared monorail like my Sinar p should make it relatively easy. =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
