Digital Photography Book

I noticed this photography book at Costco's on Saturday. Scott Kelby is the author, and is very well known in the photography genre as well as for his knowledge, classes and books about Adobe Photoshop. Tonight I learned that when you take a series of photos (overlapping the photos by 20 %, of course) to stitch together in Photoshop to create a panorama, you should be shooting the panos vertically. That way, when you crop the photo, you won't have to shear off the tip of a mountain, or part of a lake, because there will be a little "breathing room" left above the mountain range to crop in. What a great tip!
