This was taken with the Canon 17mm f4 TS-E, 3 images stitched together.


You can also use specialized panorama heads like Manfrotto's 303SPH.

Thanks Jason for the tip, but it doesn't help that I don't have $2k to drop on a lense.... is there a poor mans way of doing it? Even just the basic pan head is what, $400+?? Is there an option of doing it in photoshop to correct distortion? I don't mind cropping some of the pic out.... not to mention I don't have the luxury of going back to Mexico to retake the pictures... hahaha
