There are several ways of avoiding or of reducing the parallax at the time of shooting.
In order of simplicity:
|
|
I. Without a tripod, turn around the camera and not the inverse |
|
The goal is to photograph the whole scene while keeping the camera in the same place by imagining a rotation axis for your camera.
You can, for example, find a reference spot on the ground (a stone, pot of flowers, etc.) and then turn around this central point.
|
|
 |
his solution can be sufficient for a cylindrical panorama of a relatively remote landscape.
If you take care, it can also be good enough for an interior panorama made up of only one row of photographs. However, in this last case, we recommend the solution described in the paragraph II.

II.
Equip yourself with a tripod to position the camera
|
|
|
The stability of a tripod reduces the effect of parallax and makes it possible for you to move. A small bubble level on the majority of tripods will help you to correctly position the camera horizontally.
This way of shooting is good for landscapes or any type of panorama without a foreground, but is more difficult in confined spaces. As the camera’s screw pitch is located under the camera body, the axe of rotation rarely corresponds to the lens pupil, which is located between the objective and the camera body (either the X- or the Y-axis).
Even if Stitcher compensates for some of these parallax effects, for optimum quality and to obtain a higher degree of accuracy, the best solution is to use a panoramic head.
