The Tools

Some people would like to know the kind of equipment I use to take my pictures. The cameras and film are listed below

For the digital part I use an old HP Officejet to scan in the pictures and use PictureWindow for the tweaking. Picture Window has not as many options as Photoshop but it has all you need and it's much cheaper. The panoramas are glued together using PhotoVista from LivePicture. Apart from some annoying things such as having to crop all images to the same format, it works pretty well.
