The first step is creating your image: 

First make sure your camera battery is charged.Then go to a very beautiful place with just the right amount of sky and land. Take at least 10 photos that are vertical moving from left to right, with a 15% overlap. Next edit your photos. Create your panorama in photoshop. The last step is polarizing your image.
