D800 | 24mm | 30s | f/13 | ISO 200. A 800Mb TIFF file (2mb compressed for the web) panorama stitched from 9 panels (3 x 3 rows). I could have shot a single 24mm exposure but getting both bridge pylons in the frame would have been a challenge. Using the 14-24mm lens I could have shot this from 14mm and upwards that would definitely have included both pylons but distortion becomes a factor at lower focal lengths.
Panoramic shooting affords you greater flexibility in terms of both horizontal and vertical fields of view and allows for good control of distortion dependent on focal length and degree of rotation.
