Good Morning!

I have become interested in making panoramic images out of "pieced together" 4X5 format images. I really like the exploration of space that this affords. Having never tried it, I have a few questions about basics that you may be able to hel p me with so that I don't have to recreate the wheel... (I will be using a 150mm lens)

1. On an evenly lit scene I can see that just one exposure measurement will work , but what about a long horizontal scene where the lighting changes across the s cene? Should I just be taking an icident measurement for each segment or should I use some other technique?

2. What's the best way to think about enlarger exposure for each of the segments so that the pieced together image looks smooth all across its length?

3. How much of the field of view of my lens should I use (all/part) to achieve g ood flow across the scene without too much distortion?

4. Is there anything good written out there on the technical aspects of this typ e of project?

Thanks in advance for any help with this new adventure.....
