This is a pano of three shots stitched together. I actually shot about 30, but the three I used were the ones with the least blur. It turns out, the best way to avoid motion blur from just holding the camera in one hand with a squirming baby in the other is to set your exposure to manual, aperture to f/5.0 (for reasonable sharpness, even though everything's at infinity), infinity manual focus, and a shutter speed of 1/80. I used 1/40, which meant that the vast majority of my shots were blurry, and only a few salvagable. Luckily, they were positioned in the region I wanted to give me the image I wanted (though not as wide as I would have liked). I used the incredible Autostitch to make it work.
I might have been able to have taken this in one shot with the Dp1, just because it's got a wider lens; but then, I'd have two of these cameras, and that's a bit much.
