PANORAMAS
- continued
These two exposures together cover a horizontal
angle
of 78° without turning the camera, 4° more
than the range of a 24mm wideangle
lens,
and with
the added advantage of larger
image
size. The table
below
gives
a comparison of the angles of various
wideangle lenses and the PC-Nikkor panorama range.
In
making a vertical panorama, a 65° vertical
angle
can
be
covered using the extreme
rise
and
fall
shifts,
with the camera still
in
the horizontal position. The
overlapping area
is
least
when
two pictures are
matched vertically.
Caution:
Extreme
care
is
necessary
when
taking
panoramic
shots
to
avoid
camera
movement,
since even a slight
movement
between
exposures
will
result
in
some
distortion
and
photo-
graphs
will
not
join ex
actly.
For
best
results
mount
the
camera
on
a
tripod
.

When
making enlargements,
be
sure
that the negative
is
absolutely parallel
to the
easel
to prevent distortions.
All
of the focusing adjustments on
the enlarger should
be
maintained
constant from one exposure to the
next.
When
the prints are removed
from the washer, insert them
in
a
rotary dryer facing the same direction.
