Quick tip on technique I am using lately to large extent when wanting to capture more than ordinary frame can accommodate. Everyone knows about pano stitching, but why limit yourself to single row? Simply lock exposure somewhere in the middle of scene you want to capture, then shoot grid or matrix. For instance both images here are 3x3

Key is to have large overlap, so that stitching software can do better job. After locking exposure I usually move down - right - up - right - down pattern, i.e for photos above:

1 6 7
2 5 8
3 4 9

Additional benefit you achieve with this technique is "super-resolution". It results with larger file size which is understandable, but details are very sharp on pixel level because stitching software has more data to work with. Pros do this with tripod, but I find handheld also works; technique will also help with camera shake in case of low exposure time.
