so here's my first, i know it's not the best color job, but i was more interested in getting the stitching right, an 8 shot pano of a covered bridge in felchville, vermont, it was mid afternoon, very sunny but just late enough to start picking up some blue shadows on the left as that part of the little valley was approaching shade already
i'm pretty happy with the job that the auto stitch in photoshop cs3 does, clicking on it gets the larger size?, i'm still trying to get the hang of the posting options
 
Very nice scene - worth capturing I think.

Are you using CS3's own stitching function, or are you using 'autostitch' plug in? I played around with the photoshop version, but actually prefer the Autostitch version for the output scaling and resolution options, better blending especially if you have shots with some varying exposure, and for pure simplicity since you don't have to do a thing except select the photos to be stitched and hit OK...even selecting them out of order works.

Anyway...looks like you've got some great vistas there - look forward to more stitch experiments.

thanks craig
justin, this is using the images>photomerge>add open files>auto in cs3, then just sitting back while it does it's thing
although my next one i'm going try doing all my color correction, and sharpening first and then the pano stitching
we are doing adventures by disney, quest for the west in wyoming in august and i think i'll need some pano skillz in place for that trip
 
That works pretty well. Definitely want to get your practice in for that scenery!

looking good Gary; did you take the series of photos in portrait or landscape?

this was landscape mode, auto focused and then auto turned off, using the degree markings on the base of my ballhead so as to get an even 20% overlap, as recommended in volume 1 of digital photography by scott kelby
