Bob, I'm not sure if you are referring to a normal stitched panorama done in
Photoshop or are asking something different?
This newish shot consists of five frames with a 35mm lens (on M9) mounted
vertically and pivoted around the entrance pupil. I used 30 degree
increments.

Out of interest at least one of Sony's new NEX cameras has the capability to
approximate this IN CAMERA while it is handheld and fired continuously while
being panned. That is a remarkable technical achievement.

Cheers
Geoff
