calculations for Holga horizontal panorama?

see http://medfmt.8k.com/bronlensenvy.html for tips on a cardboard cutout
viewer that you can setup to show what your camera lens will project on
film. You can calculate the angles knowing the lens focal length at
bronfov.html calculators, but then you would need to do alot of
calculations for different subject distances etc. Hardly in keeping with a
simple camera setup, so the cardboard cutout viewer is probably a better
match? ;-)

that said, not many folks do "horizontal" panoramics, too much exercise
;-)

the classical panoramic photo is made by rotating the camera around the
lens node so the photos will match up reasonably well (see
mf/panoramic.html for links etc.).

you can also try stereo, with slides or prints, rather easier and more
interesting IMHO with close subjects, though you may want/need to build a
viewer to work with your setup. (see mf/stereo.html for links etc.)

check out RIT's David Andrewhazy for his experiments with cameras; you can
probably modify many rollfilm cameras so you could drive at a constant
speed and take a long panoramic exposure past a slit etc. see
http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/articles.html for articles - not as easy as it
sounds, but a fun project ;-)
