Be Quick About It

When you start to take your panorama, be quick about it. If there are things moving in your image (like clouds, or water, or trees swaying in the breeze), you need to take your pano segments fairly quickly, so you don’t wind up with a blurry mess in those areas. Again, this is only if things are moving in your image. If you’re shooting, say, a six-segment pano, it should take 10 seconds or less to shoot all six segments, not 30 seconds. If something does move a bit, you can often “fix it in Photoshop,” but sometimes not. So, just shoot it fairly quickly, and you won’t have to worry about it.
