In order to ensure that you are able to keep the most important parts of the image, it's a good idea to shoot vertical when you're doing a pano, even on horizontal scenes. If you shoot horizontal and your shots don't line up correctly, you may lose parts of the image that you really wanted. Shooting vertical will give you more latitude. This method will require that you take more shots, but it'll also improve your chances of retaining all the important information in your photos. Just be prepared to spend a little more time processing the pano files.
If you're like me, in addition to just shooting a pano, you also take some regular shots of a beautiful scene. Therefore, when you start processing files, you may have trouble determining where your pano starts and ends. A good way to avoid this problem is to take a picture of your finger right before and right after the pano shots. That way, you'll know exactle which shots to include in your pano processing. This can save you a lot of time and, after all, it's not like we have to pay to process the film any longer. I hope you'll try doing some pano shots. It's a lot of fun!
