Zitat

I use Hugin to stitch in the nadir, which is usually taken handheld. Generally I have no problems with getting a reasonable stitch.

I load in the nadir shot just like the others.

I crop it to avoid my feet.

I assign it a diiferent lens to the other shots, this allows me to optimise its angle of view, barrel, and image shift.

I make sure that the rest of my pano is all sorted, aligned and optimised before locking them in place and then separately optimising the nadir shot.

I put a selection of alignment points around the edge of the cropped area of the nadir. Then it is simply a matter of optimising the nadir shot position, angle of view, barrel, and image shift. I usually only need to use the b parameter for the barrel distortion optimisation. Hugin may warn you that some of the optimised parameters are very large, but this can be the case if your shot wasn't near the position of others.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Daniel.
