This past summer, I took a road trip across the country, and along the way I spent a few days in Yellowstone National Park and in the Badlands of South Dakota. Both places are visually stunning and as you might guess, both are very popular spots for photographers.
However, anyone armed with a camera is immediately faced with the considerable challenge of: how do I effectively capture all that I am seeing?

For professionals, it often means shooting with a large format camera (4x5, 8x10) that can render large prints with fine detail. There are also those who shoot with special panoramic cameras capable of capturing wide spans of scenery that give the viewer a better sense of scale than traditionally formatted cameras do.
However, if you don't happen to own a large format or panoramic camera, you can still create the same effect by digitally stitching images together that you capture with a traditionally formatted camera. This lesson demonstrates some simple shooting and digital techniques to render professional-looking panoramic images.
