Look a this pic, tis even bigger than 16:9.

I got a digital camera.How i do it???

dude that about 6 pictures stitched together in photoshop

i know because i did it

It is commont to stitched images togoether for a panaramic view, however you can get a Noblex or the alike to take panaramic on film. Or, a fisheye lens such as the 6mm Nikkor, or Canon 15mm.

fisheyes dont make for good panos because of the distortion they produce, and even if you make the picture rectalinear, some strange stretching occurs

It is acceptable with some croping.

Panaramic view using ultra fisheye lens.

You can only crop what you have, either a single picture or stitched pictures.

If your going to stitch pictures, give autostitch.net a try. It's currently a technology demo, but the output doesn't have any watermarks.

This program rocks, I just did a quick 6 picture try, and it came out almost perfect on the first try! Imagine if I really try!

ill admit that that is pretty god damn impressive, however teh way the trees and poles liik really bother me, and that is an extreme case, the newer nikon 10.5mm fishey can do almost that will less distortion and less work on extending it from the camera

thats 6mm fisheve is also hard to come by

yea stitch. or simply use wide angle lense on a high res digital slr which is superior to stitch... u see those two virtical bands in the sky? it happens. my canon cam came with a astich program..works ok. there are 3rd party ones too, name eludes me at the momment. it has to know stuff about the cam like lense size blah blah.

even a wide angle lens on a DSLR wont give you a real panoramic view, because its still in the 2:3 format, the shots i used for the bridge were shot at 18mm which is pretty wide

the vertical banding is more an issues of not nailing the exact exposure for each image, you can fix that in PS or whatever, and some panorama programs will do it for you

I use "The Panorama Factory" from Smoky City Designs, you can put in cam and lens infoe and about 11ty billion other things, its how i made the bridge one,

thats a pretty good stich job.

actually its pretty bad i can see ths stitch lines, i really should redo it

thsi one is much better

Camera info, plz? I've always wanted to take shots like that, but my camera's physical geometry is all off and Olympus won't give me the neccessary info on the lens to build an adapter that does anything more than center the lens over the tripod pivot (there's still rediculous parallax error)

the one ith the bridge in it was taken with a Nikon D70 w/ kit lens, HANDHELD

the water one that wa sfirst posted was taken with an olympus C-720UZ HANDHELD

you dont NEED a tripod,

The only time you really need a tripod and adapter is when your shooting something really close. Like this which was a 995 with fisheye and adapter.

EyeMWing, what camera do you have. The information you need is probably somewhere around on the net.

Looking for nodal point information on the Olympus C4000Z camera. Oldskewl, dammit, oldskewl. I bought this back when digital cameras sized for adult hands weren't popular, so this was almost literally the only option (even the Canons were a little bit too small)

some canons have a panoramic mode built right in that takes widescreen...

kodak advantex do too

you realize that all that is doing is cropping the top and bottom for you, something you can eaisily do in photoshop or whatever later.

Nah, that's not what it does. All it does is take the last shot you took and show you a bit less then half of it on the screen. You then line up the shot again to cover already taken part and take another shot... and you keep taking as many as you want to. Its just there to make sure you have the proper amount of 'landmarks' (for lack of a better term) in the pics for the photo stitch program to work with. I never use it, but its a neat feature for people who don't know how photo stitching work.
