I used AutoStitch [ http://cvlab.epfl.ch/~brown/autostitch/autostitch.html] - not sure why it came out so small, maybe I should try messing with the settings.
Thanks for the input I really appreciate it. |
If you are taking night shots you'll need a tripod.
Keep your ISO low
Smaller aperture = darker scene
Larger aperture = brighter scene
Play with your exposure times and see what works best for you.
Practice, practice and more practice.
Read some forums online and understand what you want to capture.
If you are on flickr, there are literally thousands of groups and discussions to assist you with any questions.
Different examples below.
26 second exposure @ 11mm and f/6.3
