    Definitely vertical....First time I did it vertical, it was like "doh," of course....

    My GX8 has a resolution of 5184 x 3888. If I shoot multiple shots in landscape, the picture is only 3888 pixels tall. If I shoot more pictures in portrait, the pano is 5184 pixels tall. Much more to work with.

    Wait, wait, wait....How did you take multiple shots for a pano, while your bike was in the air??

      You don't need to take multiple shots to get a wide angle panorama view, I had a wide-angled lens here on this digital camera...

      Unless the challenge is limited to a multi shot panorama... And then I'm out at that point.

          This SHOULD be your entry, Dave. That turned out to be a really neat piece, with an interesting story. Call it an experiment in panoramic photography... I like it...

            I am not likely to get my bike out this week -- there's an oil leak, plus I need to change the oil anyway.
            So I give you the Old School Panoramic in my garage. The left and right edges of the composition are opposite corners of the garage, the traffic light is in the corner between the opposites, and I'm standing near the corner opposite the traffic light.

            Here's my garage.

            Some explanations.

            Behind my leaking bike is the old church sign. My church sign was hit by a car in March 2018, and when we replaced it with a new LED sign, I kept the old one.

            There's a couple odds and ends inside the white cabinet, and there are routes written on painter's tape stuck to the cabinet doors, in case I want to ride those routes again.

            My uncle gave me the traffic light, and I plugged it in to the garage door opener so that when the garage door opener light is on, the traffic light is on.

            "Brady Hardware" was the downtown mom-and-pop hardware store around the block from me, early 1900s to maybe 1980. The building owner was throwing the sign out (what?!) and I rescued it. I have not tested its lighting guts, but it looks nice. I have an old helmet on the third r (held up by a bowling pin). On top of the second D is my grandfather's electric drill, and on top of the second r is my dad's "housecall" bag (he's a retired physician). There's other knickknacks on the other letters.

            I rescued a carpet from the alley Dumpster one day because why not.

            This summer I took all the balusters off a deck and replaced them with steel cable. Kept the balusters because again, why not. They're behind the utility truck.

            My uncle also gave me a few mahogany beams. One is upright on the left, and the other is above the utility truck, atop two terra cotta heads.

            Behind the trashcan in the corner is a 3' by 3' plastic L from an old FoodLion sign or something.

                  Come on guys. Definition of a panorama is anything with a fornat 2:1 or wider. Shoot it with whatever you want. And yes if shooting multiple shots to stitch definitely shoot vertical.

                    I must say though, I never knew the exact ratio of a panorama until this morning...

                            I know we're just funnin' around. I confess I had to look it up and was surprised at the 2:1 because it's actually not much different than the widescreen format (16:9) that a lot of cameras/phones can shoot at.

                                This pic was taken a few years ago on an unseasonably warm Oct day when harvest was in full swing. The good wife had baked a fresh apple pie and mused how it would be nice if it could be in her brothers field at lunch time, some 200 miles away. I thought that sounded like an excellent idea for a fall day trip. The bike is an '81 Honda Silverwing Interstate PDV. (pie delivery vehicle)
