Yes, verticals are difficult. You CAN opt to create rectilinear images, of course, but then although the linear parts of the image remain straight, the perspective goes very strange at anything over a vertical FOV of 90 degrees or so. A fisheye can be a good tool, especially a rectangular one, as all lines through the center of the image remain straight. My most effective vertical panoramas are taken with a TX-1, using a 45mm lens and a negative 65mm long. This is about the equivalent of a 25mm lens in normal 35mm film terms, and is quite useful. 25mm is MUCH wider than 28mm!

Thanks for your very useful comments, Roger. I will look up the software you mention and give it a shot. I have never tried 360-degree panoramas but I seen you have been doing some very nicely. I have also done a few vertical panoramas (also on Webshots) of interiors of the big mosques in Istanbul, trying to capture a sense of their height and austerity. This is often a lot of distortion to deal with in verticals and I am not completely wild about the resuls.

You might like to try stitching with PTgui (free trial for a month and not expensive if you decide you like it). I don't know how it compares with ArcSoft, but I do know it has a neat horizon leveler function that you could use... [g]. I love the wide-open scenes you are capturing in your panoramas... much less claustrophobic than the narrow streets I shoot here in Japan!
