You may need a tripod.
Take several shots and stitch them together by using PS or other software (you can google for it).

Hope this is help.

lol tripod which enables panning ? a tripod for video cam would be better. Orelse stitching would be a painful task. for stitching in PS, simply use a oversized canvas, place the pictures on the canvas and while reducing transparency of the overlapping picture to say 30%, try to piece them together. Finally revert transparency and crop. Alternatively there are software which can help u do that easily, plugins too.

Cheers

Did you use a pano head ? Did you take in portrait position ?
For me, usually at 28mm ( after magnification ), I use 30 degree to rotate. You need 20% overlap at each side in order to get good stitching.
What stitching software are you using ?

Recommend to use manual mode for consistant exposure.

If you dun use pano head, you may experience horizon not level issue and unable to capture wider angle view, thus your pano shot will end up very long.

can try to use smaller aperture for less vignetting problem?
