I had to laugh at myself when I put this together and realized what I had done. I was showing my daughter about the camera by the pool. We then went up to the hotel room and I decided to shoot a pano of the view. Well this atrocity is what came out. I had been letting my daughter shoot in Av. Didnt even think to check it when i shot the pano as it was a spur of the moment thing.

Just goes to show why manual can actually be easier in the long run. I have no intentions if fixing this in post as there is nothing to gain from it as it was only for fun.

However it is the largest pano I have done so far... of the very few I have done. The cropped origional after the auto-stitch is 17,968 X 11,651.

Heh! That's certainly pretty wild:)! Good for you that you don't need to fix it, especially that area where it was trying to meter "for the shadows"!

My first pano was very similar, although MUCH smaller (I think 6 images). I haven't tried one since! :lol: Not because I don't know what to do now though. ;)

What program did you use to stitch the image?

I think if you have the images with different exposures you can try a collage style pano, images with frames to lessen the exposure differences. Would look pretty interesting and save your work on the pano. :)

If you do that, you could be the next David Hockney!

I did it in CS4.

I kind of like that idea. I kept a PSD of it, so adding a border to each layer would be very easy. I might try that tomarow.
