Adventures in Panorama

I decided that I should give the panorama another go, and found out some of the problems that I was having with my first attempt. Here is a list of the problems that I know about.

  • Change in height. - I was not using a tripod.
  • Change in perspective. - My feet were moving slightly left or right.
  • Close objects. - Especially those that span from one end of your shot to the other SUCK!

However, what I don’t know is:

  • How do I deal with close objects?
  • How can I make perspective not change?
  • Is there a way to not have the picture slowly degrade in height?

If anyone knows how to answer these questions, without using Panorama software (since this is something I am trying to avoid), I’d be greatful for a response either via the comments or email.

Also, to clarify, I am not creating a 360 degree panorama as the word would suggest, I am simply trying to create an unobstructed view of what I see when I walk out my door. This still falls under the meaning of panorama, in my opinion.
