Who needs medium format......I have a 55MP Nikon

thanks JT for the info. Never tried stacking or merging shots. Very interesting. What program you guys using to merge and stack with?

It's called stitching. I use AutoPano Giga by Kolor.

As our OP said, without a tilt shift, it's a bit difficult.

Some softwares deal with keystoning better than others. One can always do a perspective correction on the individual images before stitching.

That's true. It's just not as optimized as I'd like.

Ive never seen autopano...
my wife uses several mid 50's-60's singers for stitching and it seems to work rather well. I dont think they have many MP's though.

I merged these two in GIMP. But I did so manually, I am not even sure if GIMP will do it automatically, but I need to find out.

It won't. I've already looked into it.

Microsoft ICE (a free download but can be awkward to install, it often needs an extra bit) generally works well to stitch images without the need of a shift lens or even tripod support. Very useful to get a wider field of view.
Here's an example pano (in infra red) stitched with ICE.

Personally I'd rather like a medium format for the dynamic range etc. but find 20MP is quite enough for me. Even then most of it is to allow for extra cropping, when my super telephoto doesn't get close enough.

I use a glue, it works great on jeans!

I finally got out to take some practice pano merge shots with the 24mm tilt shift. This is two horizontal shots, stacked vertically, the top image lost about 30%, final image being approx. 7000x8000 pixels. I had read that the merge process is super simple and it was, I had a few spots to clone to clean things up but that is pretty much it. The merge line is just where the blue starts coming into the sky. I also did some sample shots with lots of detail to see how everything lined up and it did so flawlessly. I tried merging two horizontal shots side by side but the exposure difference came into play near the edges and made editing too much of a pain. I need to play around more with that, as well as stacking vert shots side by side. Taken with a d800e. I really like this ratio.
