I managed to experiment a little with taking panoramic photos using my P3A. Its not the greatest camera in the world to take photos with, lacking sharpness and there tends to be a bit of noise in the images, but the ability to fly it where you want is a huge advantage.

Took this photo at sunset, its 3 RAW images stiched and processed in Lightroom. I think its a pretty decent result that Im happy with.

Hello Chris, if it is convenient, it would be better to share some tricks of making panorama photos here.

Sorry, I thought this was the right place to share photos and videos? Im not by any means an expert on making panorama photos, Lightroom pretty much does it for me

Epic landscape shot! Are you sure you camera isn't faulty? My first P3A produced images which weren't very sharp, turned out to be a fault which seems common. I eventually got a replacement and the new one produces pretty sharp images.

Really nice shot.  Good light & composition, although the orange looks a bit blown out.  I expect you're getting noise issues because of the extreme range of tones in the scene.  Definitely a case here for HDR.

Thanks! Could be, I read about others also having similar issues, some got replacement camera but it didnt perform any better. Have to look into this more I guess.

Thank you, Nigel The RAW shots from this scene are definitly a bit under exposed out of the camera, which I know can introduce more noise when adjusting light in post. But, I tend to get noise/lack of sharpness even when properly exposing in good light. Will have to experiment some more..!

It looks more like a processing problem than one of exposure. Maybe try adjusting the highlights and/or saturation in the oranges/yellows.  Or just leave it as it is if you're happy with it.  It's often a matter of taste & interpretation anyway.
