you rotated the head on the tripod, to stop the lines going wrong, you need to physically re position either to the left or right with the same distance to your subject point.

imagine shooting video if you rotate the camera 90 degrees your perspective changes.

the angles must remain the same as you take each shot, or the stitching will never match up.

hope this helps

hmmm I dont quite get that. if I have my camera on the tripod, and rotate it for like...... 180° while doing like 4 shots, why does the perspective change if I´m only moving the cam to the sides.....

i will do you a diagram gimmie a sec

The lens needs to stay in the same place, need to rotate the camera around the lens.

diagram got confusing, then i tried to find one online, and i came across the correct word to explain your problem.
parallax

what

rotate the camera around the lens? >.<

How much were you over lapping each shot?

I'm you shot each shot portrait style too?

You should lap MAXIMUM 30% in my experience.

Don't be afraid to re correct every vertical per shot in camera (straighten lines) or in photoshop. If you lap enough it will work out fine.

Fuck, typos.

I love them all.
The only thing I would've liked on #3 was more of a face-to-face angle, so-to-speak.
Like, on your knees and directly at the line, with the numbers to the side.

THAT MADE NO SENSE, and I have no examples to show.
