Ok I got this done in the end so I thought I'd report back. I don't think its possible to do what I was asking in the 1st post, for example you can see both sides of the machines in different photos so it is impossible for software to work out what to include. In the end I got a picture of...

That is exactly what I have done, moved the camera 30" for each shot on a line exactly the same distance from the machines.

I have used the camera in the portrait position. Unfortunately the distance to the machines is too short to be able to leave the camera still & rotate it & get enough of the line in.

I'm going to be a part of a presentation at work & for my part I thought it would be good idea to have a stitched collage (like panoramic view) of our production line running across the top of our display board to help explain the process to visitors to our stand. I thought this would be...

Here is a screen shot showing the histogram. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/8xGQuDzUSg4984m7mJVW_1J9GxegXJrd_a2BFW-LYzI?feat=directlink I should say that this is a picture my girlfriend has taken of me and she is right at the bottom of the learning curve & the FL could have been...

Sorry, I mean when I crop the image.

My bike is green & white. The grain looks the same on the green as it does on the white.

I've had my 7D for a few months now (my first SLR). One of the main reasons for my choice of camera was to take pictures of motorbikes in action, I am myself a club racer. From the research I did I expected to be able to get excellent results from this camera & the 70-200 IS USM L series...

I've had a few goes of shooting the night sky, however it's really difficult to look through the viewfinder at night when the screen is so bright. Can you turn it off? I've had a look in the manual & can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I know I could use Live view but sometimes I would...

I'm fairly new to photography but I'm not new to computers. Lightroom has been the best purchase I've made so far. As above I think the best advice is to keep ALL your photos under one folder. You can have as many sub folders as you like. The reason is you can back up this one main folder...

Thanks for the offer, unfortunately my dog doesn't travel :|. I have got some good shots it's just my keep rate is not as heigh as I thought it should be & my dog doesn't even move that fast as she has arthritis. I'm going to have another go at the weekend & make double shore I have the...

Those shots are ace, obviously 2.8 is fine. Out of curiosity how many of that type of shot would you expect to to have in focus as you would like 8/10, 5/10? A lot of what I've taken are not very sharp. Originally I put this down to the narrow DOF & just not getting the focus in the right...

I've not tried using Tv mode but I will give it a try. The reason I avoided Tv is my lens is F2.8 (70-200) & I'd kind of decided that F2.8 (which I guess the camera will automatically choose) would give a too narrow depth of field to have a good chance of the dog being in focus.
