Hi mate thanks for the interest
It was taken with a D50 and Kenlock 2000 tripod. They are a bit old school, not the smallest tripod even when folded down but they are pretty robust. They can be picked up on fleabay for pretty cheap.
I took 6 frames, 3 shots each (for the HDR effect) so 18 shots in total all lanscape, at 18mm using the 18-55mm kit lens.
Panorama Factory was the tool used to stitch them together after using
photomatix for the tone mapping. If you are intersted in HDR check out cykey's guide
here.
It wasnt very difficult, just time consuming and knowing which of the 18 photos needed to be in the right place at the right time. As broadband mentioned I have a bit of ghosting so I must have overlapped those two photos a bit too much but apart from that it was pretty easy, most of all it was fun
Hope that helps, good luck with your first panorama. Give us a shout if you get into any difficulties, E-mail in trust
