Trunk Bay Panorama
All I can say is, I'm glad there was no Sahara dust this day!
Edited to straighten horizon - thanks JMQ!

No, although the booklet that came with my camera says there IS a panorama setting, I think my camera isn't a "fancy enough" version, so I don't have it. I took 4 consecutive, overlapping pictures and Photo Stitch did the rest. I tweaked it a little in Photoshop after it was stitched. Actually it came out better than most of the panoramas I try to take. I think it's a keeper.sea-nile wrote:Did you use a panorama setting?
CA - Beautiful.
Not to pick nits, but it is something that drives me crazy in my own photos...seems with some point n shoot digital cameras, the horizon in my pictures also shows up being slighly tilted in the frame like this one, even when I try not to do this when taking the picture while completely sober.
Probably has something to do with the viewfinder/LCD not being accurately lined up with what gets recorded on the memory card (parallax angles??). Never had this problem with an SLR.
Anyways, see if your Photoshop has a "straighten picture" function like later versions Microsoft Picture It! has. That one is pretty easy to use to "correct a skewed horizontal orientation".

JMQ - I don't know how I missed that. Usually crooked horizons drive me insane! It's easily fixable, as you said. Now I have another little project You can always "pick nits" with my pictures. You are my photographer hero on this forum! Wouldn't you just LOVE to take one of Steve Simonsen's classes?

sea-nile - the Canon panorama setting is pretty easy to use and helps you frame the overlapping shots. When downloaded from the camera, they have a image number followed by and A,B,C etc. that you put together using the Canon Photostitch software. Not hard.
Some examples...

Here is what I did to get a pathetic panorama picture. I took several pictures in a row slighlty overlapping where I left off. Then I printed them and put them together with tape. 
Pretty hokey. I guess I will need to take the time to learn all of the software. My teenage daughter should be able to teach me but she "doesn't have time to help me".
