X North East South West Station in foreground. Eight pictures starting from north looking toward south, always same start and clockwise path. Why? You don’t have to remember !!! Walk in a wide circle, about feet away from the instrument. Show position relationships. You can always get close-ups later on.

X North East South West Panning. When azimuthal field of view is limited by camera. Pan Left.Pan Right. Allow Overlap Initial View Panning. From fixed vantage point, sweep to left and right to record a panorama. Keep relation of instrument to horizon constant. Swivel about a point, but don’t walk. Panning. Retain an overlap section to be able to reconstruct direction of pan. Panning. Can also pan up and down to show trees, mountains, surface texture.

What cameras do not record, at all or very well: Your state of mind. Anything outside the field of view. What is behind, beside, above, or below you. The full brightness range routinely discerned by the human eye. Shadow details. Highly contrasty situations, such as looking toward the sun. Depth. 3 dimensions will be recorded on a 2-dimensional medium. What happened prior to, or after, the shutter is snapped. Shaded detail in bright sunlight, or with snow-covered ground. Dark areas, when brighter conditions influence the light meter. The fact that you are standing in a marsh or a mud pit or on bare rock.
